Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: Clinical manifestations of thyroid storm include a fever as high as 106 F, hyperreflexia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dehydration rapidly progressing to coma, severe tachycardia, extreme vasodilation, hypotension, atrial fibrillation, and cardiovascular collapse.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: In early pregnancy, hCG is produced by trophoblastic cells that surround the devel-oping embryo. This hormone is responsible for positive pregnancy tests. The other options are not hormones found in urine that indicate pregnancy.
