The nurse is assessing a male client diagnosed with gonorrhea.
Which symptoms would the nurse expect to find on assessment? (Select all that apply)

Choice A rationale

Reflex incontinence is typically caused by neurological damage. It occurs when the nerves that control the bladder are damaged, leading to involuntary loss of urine.

Choice B rationale

Overflow incontinence is typically caused by blockage or obstruction of the bladder, or by poor bladder contraction. It is not typically caused by neurological damage.

Choice C rationale

Functional incontinence is typically caused by physical or mental impairments that prevent a person from reaching the toilet in time. It is not typically caused by neurological damage.

Choice D rationale

Stress incontinence is typically caused by physical changes such as childbirth or surgery, or by hormonal changes such as menopause. It is not typically caused by neurological damage.

Choice A rationale

Hyperkalemia, or high levels of potassium in the blood, is not a clinical manifestation of Cushing syndrome.

Choice B rationale

Thin skin that bruises easily is indeed a common symptom of Cushing syndrome. The condition causes the skin to become thin and fragile, leading to easy bruising.

Choice C rationale

A round, “moon face” appearance is another common symptom of Cushing syndrome. This is caused by the redistribution of fat to certain areas of the body, including the face.

Choice D rationale

Weight loss is not typically associated with Cushing syndrome. In fact, weight gain, particularly in the trunk of the body, is a more common symptom.

Choice E rationale

A fatty pad between the shoulders, often referred to as a “buffalo hump,” is a common symptom of Cushing syndrome. This is also due to the redistribution of fat in the body.
