A 40 yr old patient with suspected acromegaly is seen at the ANS: B
clinic. To assist in making the diagnosis, which question
should the nurse ask? Acromegaly causes an enlargement of the hands and feet.
a. "Have you had a recent head injury?"
b. "Do you have to wear larger shoes now?"
c. "Is there a family history acromegaly?"
d. "Are you experiencing tremors or anxiety?"
A patient is scheduled for transsphenoidal hypophysectomy ANS: C
to treat a pituitary adenoma. What should the nurse include in
preoperative teaching? To avoid disruption of the suture line, the patient should avoid brushing the teeth for 10
days after surgery.
a. cough and deep breathe every 2 hrs postoperatively
b. remain on bed rest for the first 48 hrs postoperatively
c. avoid brushing teeth for at least 10 days after the surgery
d. you will be positioned flat with a cervical collar after
surgery
The nurse is planning postoperative care for a patient who is ANS: B
being admitted to the surgical unit from the recovery room
after transsphenoidal resection of a pituitary tumor. Which After pituitary surgery, the patient is at risk for diabetes insipidus caused by cerebral
nursing action should be included? edema. Monitoring of urine output and urine specific gravity is essential.
a. palpate extremities for edema
b. measure urine volume every hour
c. check hematocrit every 2 hours for 8 hours
d. monitor continuous pulse oximetry for 24 hours

The nurse is assessing a male patient diagnosed with a ANS: B
pituitary tumor causing panhypopituitarism. Which
assessment finding is consistent with panhypopituitarism? Changes in male secondary sex characteristics such as decreased facial hair, testicular
atrophy, diminished spermatogenesis, loss of libido, impotence, and decreased muscle
a. high blood pressure mass are associated with decreases in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and
b. decreased facial hair luteinizing hormone (LH)
c. elevated blood glucose
d. intermittent tachycardia
Which information will the nurse include when teaching a 50- ANS: B
year-old male patient about somatropin?
Somatropin is injected subcutaneously daily, preferably in the evening. The patient will
a. the medication will be needed for 3 to 6 months need to continue on somatropin for life.
b. inject the medication subcutaneously every day
c. blood glucose levels may decrease when taking the
medication
d. stop taking the medication if swelling of the hands or feet
occurs
Which finding indicates to the nurse that demeclocycline is ANS: B
effective for a patient with syndrome of inappropriate
antidiuretic hormone (SIADH)? Demeclocycline blocks the action of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) on the renal tubules
a. weight has increased and increases urine output.
b. urinary output is increased
c. peripheral edema is increased
d. urine specific gravity is increased
