Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 5
Severe headache, palpitations, and profuse sweating are the most common symptoms of pheochromocytoma. Decreased urine output, diarrhea, and weight gain are not associated with this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

3
The client diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis will most often progress to hypothyroidism, which is permanent 95 of the time. The nurse should instruct the client regarding signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism. Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis will not cause type 2 diabetes mellitus, heart failure, or renal failure.
