Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E, F
Anterior pituitary hyperfunction typically will cause protrusion of the lower jaw, deepening of the voice, enlarged hands and feet, kyphosis, barrel-shaped chest, and excessive sweating.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
Pituitary tumors, anorexia nervosa, hypertension, and shock are all conditions that can cause hypopituitarism. Diplopia is a manifestation of hypopituitarism, and weight gain is a manifestation of Cushing's disease and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone. They are not risk factors for hypopituitarism.
