Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client with Addison's disease about its cause. What should the nurse say?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Addison's disease is caused by the lack of production of aldosterone by the adrenal gland. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance in the body. In Addison's disease, the adrenal glands do not produce enough aldosterone, leading to symptoms like low blood pressure, weakness, and electrolyte imbalances.
Choice A is incorrect because Addison's disease is not caused by the overproduction of growth hormone.
Choice C is incorrect as it mentions excess thyroid hormone, which is not related to Addison's disease.
Choice D is incorrect because Addison's disease is characterized by underactive, not overactive, adrenal glands.
