QL🧬 Cushing Syndrome
Prolonged exposure to high cortisol leads to the classic Cushingoid appearance 🌙 — moon face, truncal obesity, buffalo hump, and purple striae.
Long-term steroid use is the most common cause 💊.
Nursing care focuses on monitoring blood pressure and glucose, protecting fragile skin, preventing infection, and never stopping steroids abruptly 🚨.
