When a nurse is assessing the physical features of individuals with Cushing syndrome, these findings will include: A patient has high levels of hormones. To adapt to the high hormone concentrations, the patient’s target cells have the capacity for: A 15-year-old female presents with breast discharge, dysmenorrhea, and excessive excitability.

The endocrinologist explains to the patient that the main cause of these complications is: A 35-year-old female took corticosteroid therapy for several months. Which of the following would the nurse expect to find? A patient wants to know what can cause ACTH to be released. How should the nurse respond?

A 25-year-old male presents with fatigue, constipation, and sexual dysfunction. Tests reveal all pituitary hormones are normal and no masses are present. The nurse suspects the most likely cause of his symptoms is a dysfunction in the: A 25-year-old female with Graves disease is admitted to a medical-surgical unit.
