Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the pathophysiology of Cushing's syndrome: It is characterized by excessive cortisol levels, which can lead to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels).
Identify the primary concern related to Cushing's syndrome: Since hyperglycemia is a common issue, monitoring blood glucose levels is crucial.
Consider the interventions listed: Administering insulin is typically for managing hyperglycemia, not hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar.
Evaluate dietary recommendations: A high-sodium diet is generally not recommended for Cushing's syndrome due to the risk of hypertension and fluid retention.
Assess fluid intake: Increased fluid intake might exacerbate fluid retention issues, so it should be carefully managed.
