A nursing perspective on the misuse of anabolic steroids.
There is widespread use of anabolic steroids in the athletic community (Windsor and Dumitru, 1988). The potential health complications associated with this represents a serious risk to an otherwise healthy population. It is important for nurses to be knowledgeable about anabolic steroid abuse and to be able to identify users and populations most exposed to these drugs.
