In this Advanced Med-Surg episode, we review pituitary disorders affecting both the anterior and posterior lobes. Topics include acromegaly, diabetes insipidus (DI), and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), with emphasis on hormone regulation, assessment findings, diagnostic testing, and priority nursing interventions. We break down growth hormone excess, ADH imbalance, fluid and electrolyte disturbances, and postoperative care following hypophysectomy. This focused review strengthens clinical judgment and prepares nursing students to recognize endocrine instability and prevent life-threatening complications.
