Question 1 of 1
1. Question
A client has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. The nurse monitors for which signs and symptoms indicating a complication of this disorder? Select all that apply.
Correct
Options 1, 2, 4, 5 are correct answer.
Rationale:Thyroid storm is an acute and life-threatening complication that occurs in a client with uncontrollable hyperthyroidism. Signs and symptoms of thyroid storm include elevated temperature (fever), nausea, and tremors. In addition, as the condition progresses, the client becomes confused. The client is restless and anxious and experiences tachycardia.
Test-Taking Strategy: Focus on the subject, signs and symptoms indicating a complication of hyperthyroidism. Recall that thyroid storm is a complication of hyperthyroidism. Options 3 and 6 can be eliminated if you remember that thyroid storm is caused by the release of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream, causing uncontrollable hyperthyroidism. Lethargy and bradycardia (think: slow down) are signs of hypothyroidism (slow metabolism).
