ENDOCRINE DISORDERS NCLEX Tips  The endocrine system consists of organs or glands that secrete hormones and release them directly into the circulation.  Disorders of this body system can be easily understood if you remember that they basically involve one of two situations: hypersecretion or hyposecretion of hormones from a particular organ or gland.  When an excess of the hormone occurs, treatment is aimed at blocking hormone release through the use of medication or surgery.  When a deficit of the hormone exists, treatment is aimed at replacement therapy.  Therefore, when you need to answer a question on NCLEX that involves a disorder of the endocrine system, focus on the gland and think about its function, then determine whether the condition is one that causes an excess or a deficit of the hormone.
