Assignment:

Their son's injuries are starting to improve, moving from ICU to the post-trauma pediatric unit. Physical and speech therapies are improving his level of function, and full recovery is expected. Mr. X, though, is continuing to suffer from persistent headache, tachycardia, and profuse sweating. Mrs. X is confused as to why her husband is unable to send accurate text messages on his phone and why he seems angry at everyone. His son's nurse has been watching and shares her concern. This is no longer a normal stress response. Instead, his clinical picture is suspicious for the impact of adrenal disease. Briefly describe the metabolic pathophysiology that may be causing Mr. X's symptoms.

Which vital sign will help assess him for urgently needed treatment? What would that treatment include?

Mrs. X is juggling this son's injuries, her husband's behavior, and the care needs for their other young son. How would a biblical worldview help you to provide the support she needs (include at least one Scripture verse)?
