R. S. is a 66-year-old female with Cushing’s syndrome due to an ACTH-producing pituitary tumor. The tumor is
readily isolated by imaging, and the patient had an uneventful surgery. When seeing her in follow-up, the AGACNP anticipates:
A. Rapid reversal of symptoms, with good pituitary function
B. Transient rebound release of remaining pituitary hormones
C. Markedly improved dexamethasone suppression test
D. Hyponatremia and compensatory SIADH
