Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice D rationale

Easily bruised is a common sign of Cushing's syndrome due to increased cortisol levels, which weaken blood vessel walls, leading to capillary fragility and easy bruising.

Choice A rationale

Jaundice is not a typical finding in Cushing's syndrome. It is usually associated with liver conditions where bilirubin levels increase.

Choice B rationale

Muscle rigidity is not a common symptom of Cushing's syndrome. It is more associated with neurological or muscular disorders.

Choice C rationale

Weight loss is contrary to what is seen in Cushing's syndrome, where weight gain, particularly in the abdomen and face (moon face), is more typical.

A. A client who has tested positive for Helicobacter pylori. B. A client who has a viral respiratory infection. C. A client who has a tumor pressing on the pituitary gland. D. A client who is taking ampicillin.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with gastrointestinal conditions like peptic ulcers and gastritis, not with inner ear inflammation.

Choice B rationale

Viral respiratory infections can spread to the middle ear through the Eustachian tube, potentially leading to inflammation and infection of the inner ear (otitis media).

Choice C rationale

A tumor pressing on the pituitary gland can cause hormonal imbalances but is not directly related to inner ear inflammation.

Choice D rationale

Ampicillin, an antibiotic, is used to treat bacterial infections but does not inherently increase the risk of inner ear inflammation.
