A nurse assesses clients who have endocrine disorders. Which assessment findings are paired correctly with the endocrine disorder? (Select all that apply.)
- A. Thyroid-stimulating hormone: Increase bone formation
- B. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone: Increase bone formation
- C. Parathyroid hormone: Synthesis and release of corticosteroids
- D. Antidiuretic hormone: Increase urinary output
- E. Parathyroid hormone: Increase bone resorption
Correct Answer: A,E
Rationale: Thyroid-stimulating hormone promotes bone formation, and parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone affects pigmentation, not bone formation. Antidiuretic hormone decreases urinary output, and parathyroid hormone does not directly stimulate corticosteroid release.

- A. Posterior pituitary hormones
- B. Adrenal medulla hormones

- A. Thyroid-stimulating hormone
- B. Vasopressin
- C. Follicle-stimulating hormone
- D. Calcitonin
- E. Growth hormone
Correct Answer: A,C,E
Rationale: The anterior pituitary gland secretes thyroid-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and growth hormone, which would be affected by hypofunction. Vasopressin and calcitonin are secreted by the posterior pituitary and thyroid gland, respectively.
