d) Hypopituitarism

After a hypophysectomy (removal of the pituitary gland), the client should be educated to report signs and symptoms of hypopituitarism, which is a potential complication. Hypopituitarism results from decreased hormone production by the pituitary gland and can lead to various hormonal deficiencies. Monitoring for and reporting any signs of hormonal imbalances is essential for the client's well-being and timely intervention.
