Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cushing's syndrome or disease greatly increases the serum levels of cortisol,which contributes to excessive bone demineralization and increases the risk for pathologic bone fracture.The client should not require suctioning.Padding the siderails and assisting the client to change position may be effective,but these measures will not protect him or her as much as using a lift sheet.
