Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4, 5, 6
Clinical manifestations of a thyroid storm include fever, tachycardia, restlessness, cardiac arrhythmias, and sweating. Hypotension is not a clinical manifestation of a thyroid storm.

Answer to Question 2

With a hiatal hernia, stomach acids reflux into the esophagus, causing pain and irritation that the patient will associate with heartburn. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are not symptoms typically associated with a hiatal hernia.
