Hyperglycemia
occurs
with
Cushing
disease
because
of
glucose
intolerance
(associated
with
cortisol-induced
insulin
resistance)
and
increased
gluconeogenesis
by
the
liver.
High
levels
of
corticosteroids
increase
susceptibility
to
infection
and
delay
wound
healing.
In
a
29-year-old
female
client
who

level
-
ANSD.
Serum
glucose
level Serum
glucose
levels
tend
to
be
high
in
patients
with
Cushing's
Syndrome
due
to
excess
corticosteroids
in
the
body.
When
Cushing's
syndrome
is
being
treated

should
expect
a

in

Severe
and
unrelenting,
located
in
the
epigastric
area
and
radiating
to
the
back
The
pain
associated
with
acute
pancreatitis
is
often
severe
and
unrelenting,
is
located
in
the
epigastric
region,
and
radiates
to
the
back.
It
is
also
described
as
sudden
onset,
deep
piercing,
continuous
or
steady.
The

a
55
year-old
male
admitted
to
the
hospital
with
a
diagnosis
of
acute
pancreatitis.
Which
interventions
would

expect
to
be

for
the
client?
Select
all
that
apply.
A.
Administer
antacids
as
prescribed
B.
Encourage
coughing
and
deep
breathing
C.
When
food
is
allowed
follow
a
high-carbohydrate,
low-fat,
high-protein
diet
D.
Maintain
the
client
in
a
supine
and
flat
position.
E.
Give
Demerol
or
Dilaudid
as
prescribed
for
pain.
-
ANSA,
B,
C,
E
Because
abdominal
pain
is
a
prominent
symptom
of
pancreatitis,
pain
medication
such
as
Demerol
or
Dilaudid
should
be
administered
as
prescribed.
The
client
is
susceptible
to
respiratory
infections
because
the
retroperitoneal
fluid
raises
the
diaphragm,
which
causes
the
client
to
take
shallow,
guarded
abdominal
breaths.
Therefore
measures
such
as
turning,
coughing,
and
deep
breathing
should
be
instituted.
Antacids
may
be
prescribed
to
suppress
gastrointestinal
secretions.
The
diet
is
usually
high
in
carbohydrates
since
it
is
less
stimulating
the
exocrine
portion
of
the
pancreas.
A
patient
comes
into
the
clinic
with
complaints
of
joint
stiffness
and
pain.
For
which
symptom
might
the
nurse
assess
to
distinguish
rheumatoid
arthritis
from
other
connective
tissue
disorders?
A.
The
patient
has
unilateral
joint
involvement
B.
Morning
stiffness
that
lasts
more
than
one
hour
C.
Inflammation
of
the
great
toe
D.
Dry
mouth
and
dry
eyes
-
ANSB.

stiffness
that
lasts
