A nurse assesses clients who have endocrine disorders. Which assessment findings are paired correctly with the endocrine disorder? (Select all that apply.)
a. Excessive thyroid-stimulating hormone - Increased bone formation
b. Excessive melanocyte-stimulating hormone - Darkening of the skin
c. Excessive parathyroid hormone - Synthesis and release of corticosteroids
d. Excessive antidiuretic hormone - Increased urinary output
e. Excessive adrenocorticotropic hormone - Increased bone resorption
ANS: A, B
Thyroid-stimulating hormone targets thyroid tissue and stimulates the formation of bone. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone stimulates melanocytes and promotes pigmentation or the darkening of the skin. Parathyroid hormone stimulates bone resorption. Antidiuretic hormone targets the kidney and promotes water reabsorption, causing a decrease in urinary output. Adrenocorticotropic hormone targets the adrenal cortex and stimulates the synthesis and release of corticosteroids.
