Which finding in a client with hypothyroidism and hypertension who
reports taking an extra dose of levothyroxine indicates the need to
obtain a thyroid function panel? Select all that apply. One, some, or all
responses may be correct. - ✔✔✔✔-tremors, diaphoresis, nervousness,
temperature 101°f, heart rate 116 beats/min
-
Clients with hypothyroidism can develop thyrotoxicosis from an acute
overdose of thyroid hormone. Tremors, diaphoresis, and nervousness
are all signs of thyrotoxicosis. Clients may also be hyperthermic and
tachycardic.ansduring a physical assessment, a client was diagnosed
with increased temperature due to an increased basal metabolic rate
(bmr). Which hormonal imbalances would the client have? Select all
that apply. One, some, or all responses may be correct. - ✔✔✔✔-thyroid,
testosterone
, .
A cortisol test is used to help diagnose disorders of the adrenal gland.
These include cushing syndrome and addison disease. Because
cortisol levels change throughout the day, the timing of a cortisol test
is important. A cortisol blood test is usually done twice a day - once in
the morning when cortisol levels are at their highest, and again around
4:00 pm, when levels are much lower. For a cortisol urine test, the
client is instructed to collect all urine during a 24-hour period. A 24-
hour urine collection is used because cortisol levels vary throughout
the day. A cortisol saliva test is usually done late at night, when
cortisol levels are lower. For the saliva test, the client is instructed to
insert the swab into the mouth, roll the swab in the mouth for about 2
minutes so it gets covered in saliva, and place the swab into the
container within the kit that is provided.ansthe nurse is caring for a
client who is experiencing an underproduction of thyroxine (t4). This
condition is associated with which diagnosis? - ✔✔✔✔-myxedema
-
Myxedema is the severest form of hypothyroidism. Decreased thyroid
gland activity means reduced production of thyroid hormones.
Acromegaly results from excess growth hormone in adults once the
epiphyses are closed. Graves disease results from an excess, not a
deficiency, of thyroid hormones. Cushing disease results from excess
glucocorticoids.answhich clinical manifestation is observed in a client
with adrenal insufficiency? - ✔✔✔✔-hyponatremia
-
Hyponatremia is a decrease in serum sodium levels, which is the
cardiovascular manifestation of adrenal insufficiency. Fatigue is a
neuromuscular manifestation observed in clients with adrenal
insufficiency, whereas salt cravings and weight loss are the abdominal
manifestations observed in clients with adrenal insufficiency.ansthe
nurse teaches a student nurse about caring for a client with decreased
bone density. Which statements made by the student nurse indicate
effective learning? Select all that apply. One, some, or all responses
