Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4, 5
Assessment findings that may be present in Wegener's granulomatosis include upper and lower respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath and cough, hearing deficit and tinnitus, visual disturbances or conjunctivitis, and joint and muscle aches. Abdominal pain and vomiting are not associated with this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

1
Mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens are produced in the adrenal cortex. The principal mineralocorticoid is aldosterone. The adrenal medulla secretes the catecholamines. The thyroid and pituitary do not secrete aldosterone.
