All the following would most likely be seen in a client with gastric cancer except which clinical manifestation?

Choice A rationale

Calcitonin is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Its primary function is to regulate calcium levels in the body, not blood glucose.

Choice B rationale

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. It allows cells in the body to take in glucose and use it for energy. However, insulin actually lowers blood glucose levels rather than increasing them.

Choice C rationale

Glucagon is a hormone also produced by the pancreas. It works to raise blood glucose levels by stimulating the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose, which is then released into the bloodstream.

Choice D rationale

Parathyroid hormone is produced by the parathyroid glands. Its main role is to control calcium levels in the body, not to regulate blood glucose.

Choice D rationale

Fluid retention is a factor that leads to electrolyte imbalance in a client with Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH). SIADH is a condition where the body makes too much antidiuretic hormone (ADH), leading to water retention. This retention dilutes the blood, leading to low levels of sodium, a condition known as hyponatremia.
