Abstract

This chapter aims to identify key roles and functions of the endocrine system to appreciate how altered physiology can result in a disruption of homeostasis and lead to a medical emergency. The chapter discusses the more commonly experienced endocrine disorders and uses case studies to explore the nurse’s role in recognising and responding appropriately to patients with acute endocrine problems. The major organs of the endocrine system are identified along with their role in maintaining homeostasis. The use of assessment, and therapeutic interventions used to maximise the health status of patients with endocrine disorders are described as along with the responsibilities of the nurse in assessing, monitoring and managing patients with acute endocrine disorders.
