Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acute adrenal insufficiency can lead to hyponatremia due to low aldosterone levels, risk for injury due to weakness and fatigue, and imbalanced nutrition due to decreased appetite and gastrointestinal symptoms. Risk of ineffective therapeutic regimen management is relevant due to the need for lifelong hormone replacement therapy. Fluid volume excess is not typically associated with adrenal insufficiency; rather, fluid volume deficit is more common.
