A nursing instructor asks a student to describe the pathophysiology that occurs in Cushing’s disease. Which statement by the student indicates an accurate understanding of this disorder?

Explanation:

Cushing's disease is a condition in which the pituitary gland secretes too much adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), it stimulates the production and secretion of cortisol, a stress hormone.

Excess ACTH causes the adrenal glands to produce too much cortisol.

Cushing's disease is caused by a tumor or excessive growth (hyperplasia) of the pituitary gland. This gland is located just below the base of the brain.
