Endocrine / Metabolic
Glucose, thyroid, adrenal, and metabolic regulation. Diagnoses commonly routed here: diabetes mellitus (the body-system assessment), hypo- and hyperglycemia, thyroid disease, adrenal insufficiency and steroid dependence, and metabolic disturbance. Disease-specific diabetes goals and the plan-of-care detail live in the Diabetes overlay; the diabetic foot wound lives in Wounds; protective-sensation testing lives in Touch/Sensation; the systemic thyroid and neck exam lives in Neck/Thyroid; renal-diet detail lives in Nutrition.
This module supplies the complete endocrine and metabolic assessment — glucose monitoring and insulin management, hypo- and hyperglycemia recognition, thyroid and adrenal surveillance, and metabolic status — and the skilled language that proves it required a licensed nurse. It is a high-skilled-need domain built on teaching and observation. Disease-specific diabetes targets and the plan-of-care detail are documented in the Diabetes overlay and cross-referenced here. Each narrative is a structured example to edit to the actual visit and the patient’s orders — not a phrase to copy.
