●● tracheal tugging
Answer: the downward movement of the thyroid cartilage toward the
chest during inspiration
●● Posterior triangle of the neck
Answer: Includes the external jugular vein, posterior cervical lymph
nodes, and the accessory cranial nerve
●● Anterior triangle of the neck
Answer: Includes the bifurcation of the common carotid artery; anterior
cervical lymph nodes; and the facial, glossopharyngeal, vagus,

Answer: A disorder caused by a thyroid gland that is slower and less
productive than normal
, ●● Subjective Data of hypothyroidism
Answer: Weight gain, constipation, fatigue, and cold intolerance
●● Objective Data of hypothyroidism
Answer: Normal-size thyroid, goiter, or nodule(s)
●● Hyperthyroidism
Answer: overactivity of the thyroid gland
●● Subjective data for hyperthyroidism
Answer: · Weight loss
· Tachycardia
· Diarrhea
· Heat intolerance
●● Objective data for hypothyroidism
Answer: · Normal-size thyroid, goiter, or nodule(s)
· Fine hair
· Brittle nails
· Exophthalmos
· Tachycardia
