◉ 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

◉ Anterior triangle of the neck. Answer: Includes the bifurcation of the

◉ 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
◉ Caput succedaneum. Answer: Subcutaneous edema over the
presenting part of the head at delivery. It is the most common form of
birth trauma of the scalp and usually occurs over the occiput, and the
edema crosses suture lines
Generally, the edema goes away in a few days
◉ Cephalhematoma. Answer: -Collection of blood between periosteum
