I was required to do an endocrine educational seminar for nurses on a medical-surgical unit. After, I provided a post-test to evaluate teaching methods. These three questions were debatable according to the nurses. Are answers clear to anyone else? Input? I'd like to alter the questions/answers in the future if necessary. Thanks!
Triiodothyronine (T3):
a. Is produced in greater amounts by the thyroid gland than T4
b. Binds to receptors in the cytosol of target cells
c. Can be produced from the adrenal glands
d. Has a half life of a few minutes in the blood stream
A cortisol‐deficient individual:
a. Develops atrophied lymph nodes
b. Has reduced sensitivity to insulin
c. Has an increased ability to mobilize stored triglyceride
d. Has reduced resistance to stress
Glucagon
a. Inhibits insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells
b. Exerts its most important physiologic effects on adipose tissue
c. Promotes gluconeogenesis and urea synthesis in the liver
d. Indirectly stimulates ketogenesis
