A nurse is caring for a client who has CushingÔÇÖs syndrome. The nurse should recognize that which of the following are manifestations of CushingÔÇÖs syndrome?
Correct answer
B,C,D,E
Rationale
The correct manifestations of Cushing's syndrome are Buffalo hump (accumulation of fat between the shoulders), Moon face (rounding and reddening of the face), Hypertension (due to cortisol's effects on blood pressure regulation), and Purple striae (stretch marks due to skin thinning). Tremors are not typically associated with Cushing's syndrome. It is crucial for the nurse to recognize these specific manifestations to provide appropriate care and monitoring for the client with Cushing's syndrome.
