Answer to Question 1

3
Evidence of an endocrine disorder that can be assessed through the integumentary status would include hair loss, dry skin, course hair, brittle nails, or changes in pigmentation. Freckles, the presence of moles, or even skin tone are not evidence of an endocrine disorder.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4
Complications of a gastrostomy tube include nausea, vomiting, malabsorption, aspiration, abdominal distention, tube obstruction, diarrhea, and constipation. Leg cramps and muscle pain are not complications of a gastrostomy tube.
