What nursing diagnosis is most likely to apply to a patient who has a dysfunction of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland?

Biology

Serjik [45]2 years ago

Deficient Fluid Volume is the nursing diagnosis that is most likely to apply to a patient who has a dysfunction of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

The posterior pituitary produces ADH; disruptions in the levels of ADH upset the body's normal fluid balance. The hormones produced by the posterior pituitary do not directly affect immune function, tissue perfusion, or body temp.

Deficient fluid volume, or hypovolemia, results from a loss of body fluid or fluid shift, causing the fluid output to surpass fluid intake. In this process (acute or chronic), the body loses fluid volume and electrolytes. The source for this condition can be gastrointestinal, renal, or even metabolic.

Symptoms:

  • Expresses feeling thirsty
  • Verbalizes feelings of weakness
  • States feeling dizzy/lightheaded, especially when changing position
  • Complains about an inability to focus
  • Complains of headaches
  • Describes feeling of fast heartbeat

Zigmanuir [339]

The correct answer is A. A serious disease outbreak that infects hundreds of people

Explanation:

In science, the epidemiology is a fill that studies diseases especially in terms of the way diseases emerge and then spread in populations or the way diseases become epidemics. This implies, epidemiologists focus on diseases outbreaks rather than on inherited diseases. Moreover, epidemiology plays an important role in preventive health as well as actions to control epidemics. Considering this, it can be concluded an epidemiologist is likely to study " A serious disease outbreak that infects hundreds of people" because epidemiologists focus on the causes, transmission, and outbreaks of epidemics which are diseases that spread in a population.
