The treatment intervention that should be provided to a client diagnosed with Cushing’s disease is that it is best to allow the feelings of the client to be ventilated especially in regards about his or her body image as this is considered to be the most appropriate intervention.

Several interventions are possible. It depends on the cause of the Cushing's disease. If it was caused by long term use of corticosteroids then the best intervention would be to reduce and eventually stop taking the prescribed corticosteroids. If it is caused by a tumor then surgical interventions are possible or radiation treatment.  Medications can be used to control cortisol production in the body. In addition counselling would be beneficial as an additional treatment to help the patient deal with any body issues arising from the condition as physically the condition causes certain characteristics that might impact on one's self esteem.

IceJOKER [234]
After some research I found the important parts mostly bolded

Advantages:

1) Although the technology at first seems like something done for convenience rather than being something of significant utility, the fact is that poorly developed nations like India which have a relatively poor vaccination program are most likely to benefit from such a vaccine.
This is also the reason why many of the projects mentioned here (including Arntzen's early work) have been funded by the WHO.


 

2) Mucosal immunity : The vaccines which are given parenterally (e.g. Intramuscularly) induce a systemic response but little or no local immune response in the GI tract. This so called "mucosal immunity " is increasingly being considered very important for defense against GI pathogens. ( Remember OPV..)

3) And of course, it's painless and convenient

 


Disadvantages:

1) The vaccine dose would be inadequate if the patient eats only one banana/potato instead of the recommended two. Furthermore, there might be difficulties in judging the dose itself since the amount of antigen in each fruit cannot be accurately measured.

2) The risk of introducing a new gene into the Plant DNA population is not known. The gene may jump species and propagate into other plants (or wild varieties of the same plants). 
This may cause unpredictable results including a decrease in the number or even extinction of a particular plant species due to growth stunting caused by the viral/bacterial gene. (This has been known to occur in research studies, including Arntzen's)

3)"Oral Tolerance":  In another concern, scientists need to be sure that vaccines meant to enhance immune responses do not backfire and suppress immunity instead. Research into a phenomenon called oral tolerance has shown that ingesting certain proteins can at times cause the body to shut down its responses to those proteins.
This may cause the body to become more susceptible to a particular disease agent rather than become immunized against it.

Such as if the teen has a fallopian pregnancy where the baby is developed in the fallopian tubes. This requires the baby to be removed by C-section and causes damage to the fallopian tubes.
