Care of the Client with Endocrine Disorders
The endocrine system is a very complex and intricate system. Clients with deviations from the norm may suffer from conditions that can be managed with diet, medications, and or surgery. This next section will go into more detail on the various disorders and how they are treated and managed. After reviewing the function of each gland and the various hormones that are produced by each, we will now see what happens when the feedback loop is attempting to compensate and maintain homeostasis or fails to do so.
After you have completed this section, please take the Endocrine Disorders Module Review Test. The Diabetes Mellitus section will have its own review test. You will be required to complete these two tests for class.
