Question 1 of 5
Clinical manifestations of acromegaly include:
Correct Answer: A,B,C,F
Rationale: The correct answer is A, B, C, and F. Acromegaly is a condition caused by excessive growth hormone production. Skin tags (
A), softening voice (
B), weakness in voluntary muscles (
C), and soft tissue swelling (F) are common clinical manifestations due to the effects of excess growth hormone on body tissues. Skin tags are benign growths, softening voice is due to vocal cord thickening, muscle weakness is caused by growth hormone-induced myopathy, and soft tissue swelling results from tissue overgrowth.
Choices D (Involution) and E (Altered vital signs) are incorrect as involution is not a typical manifestation of acromegaly, and alterations in vital signs are not commonly associated with this condition.
