A nurse is caring for a client who has Cushing's syndrome.
The nurse should recognize that which of the following are manifestations of Cushing's syndrome? (Select all that apply)

Choice A rationale:

Tenderness, redness, and swelling at the incision site can indicate an infection or transplant rejection, both of which require immediate medical attention to prevent further complications.

Choice B rationale:

Swelling in the lower extremities (edema) can be a sign of fluid retention, which may indicate kidney dysfunction or transplant rejection, necessitating prompt evaluation and intervention.

Choice C rationale:

Elevated blood pressure (180/90 mm Hg) can be a sign of transplant rejection, as the body may be responding to the new organ as a foreign object, leading to increased blood pressure.

Choice A rationale

Bubbling in the water seal chamber with exhalation indicates that air is still being removed from the pleural space, which is expected with a pneumothorax and is not a cause for immediate concern.

Choice B rationale

Eyelets not being visible indicate that the chest tube is properly placed within the pleural space, not an urgent issue.

Choice C rationale

Movement of the trachea towards the unaffected side is a sign of tension pneumothorax, which requires immediate intervention as it can compromise respiratory function.

Choice D rationale

Crepitus in the area above and surrounding the insertion site indicates subcutaneous emphysema, which can occur but does not necessitate immediate provider notification unless severe.
