Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Euthyroid goiter is treated with thyroid hormones, such as levothyroxine. Methimazole, propylthiouracil, and sodium iodide are used to treat hyperthyroidism.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should include Anxiety related to symptoms, adverse reactions, and treatment regimen as a nursing diagnosis. Disturbed Thought Processes related to adverse drug reactions, Risk for Infection, and Risk for Impaired Skin Integrity related to adverse drug reactions are inappropriate. Risk for Infection related to adverse drug reactions and Risk for Impaired Skin Integrity related to adverse reactions would be appropriate for a client receiving antithyroid drugs. Disturbed Thought Processes may apply for a client receiving ACTH.
