Formal changes made to the Constitution are called amendments. One amendment that has made the constitution more democratic, meaning giving more power to the general public rather than a select few, is the 19th Amendment.

The 19th Amendment granted suffrage (the right to vote) to women in 1919. This meant that half the population of the United States was not previously guaranteed the right to vote (the actual percentage was much greater when we consider slavery and other obstacles to suffrage that have existed).

Guaranteeing the right to vote to women made the country much more democratic, because a much larger percentage of the population was enabled to directly participate in the election of public officials.

A 30-year-old client has been diagnosed with cushing syndrome. what psychosocial nursing diagnosis should the nurse prioritize w

charle [14.2K]

Following is the diagnosis, the nurse should prioritize when planning the client's care:

Typical physical changes brought on by Cushing syndrome are likely to lead to disordered body image. Disturbed body image is more likely to be present than decisional conflict and helplessness. Patients with Cushing syndrome experience cognitive changes, although these changes may or may not lead to emotional distress.

<h3>Crushing Syndrome: What Is It?</h3>

Cushing Syndrome is brought on by the overuse of corticosteroids. Additionally, if the body starts to overproduce cortisol, the condition may get worse. When the body is creating too much cortisol, there will be obvious signs, such as a hump in the shoulders, a round face, or prominent stretch marks on the skin. Diabetes and persistent hypertension are occasionally secondary consequences of Cushing syndrome.

Restoring normal cortisol levels and reducing the patient's symptoms are the major targets of treatment for Cushing syndrome. The effectiveness of the treatment is not significantly impacted by how promptly the illness is treated.

A prompt reaction to the appropriate call to action is therefore required, together with a good descriptive answer and nursing diagnosis.
