Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assessing for protein and vitamin intake is appropriate as individuals with Cushing's syndrome are at an increased risk for infections due to immunosuppression caused by prolonged exposure to high levels of cortisol. Ensuring adequate protein and vitamin intake can help support the immune system and decrease the frequency of infections such as head colds. Encouraging daily weighing, limiting visitor contact, and planning for frequent rest periods may be appropriate interventions for individuals with Cushing's syndrome, but they are not specifically related to concerns about frequent head colds.
