Question

You have just become the nurse manager of a nursing home and you are reminding yourself about what problems your nursing population might have by studying your old pathophysiology books from nursing school. Many of the residents are tired and have problems with blood glucose levels. All of the following hormones might be related except _______.

A. insulin
B. cortisol
C. adrenaline
D. aldosterone

Answer 1

The hormone that is unrelated to the problems of tiredness and blood glucose levels in the nursing population of a nursing home is aldosterone.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hormone that is unrelated to the problems of tiredness and blood glucose levels in the nursing population of a nursing home is aldosterone.

Aldosterone primarily regulates blood electrolyte levels, such as sodium and potassium, and is not directly involved in blood glucose regulation.

On the other hand, insulin, cortisol, and adrenaline are hormones that play a role in blood glucose level maintenance and energy regulation.
