Which findings are expected when assessing a patient with Cushing syndrome?

A. Edema of the trunk, extremities, and face: Generalized edema is not the classic pattern; Cushing syndrome features central fat redistribution rather than uniform edema. B. Excess adipose tissue in the trunk, slender extremities, and moon face: Cortisol excess typically produces truncal obesity, peripheral muscle wasting (slender extremities), and a rounded “moon” face. C. Wasting of the abdomen with thick, calloused skin: This description does not match the fat redistribution and skin changes seen with Cushing’s. D. High levels of potassium and low levels of sodium, weakness, and wasting: Cushing’s usually causes sodium retention and potassium loss (hypokalemia) rather than the opposite electrolyte pattern.
