Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client undergoing thyroid hormone replacement therapy to take the drug in the morning, preferably before breakfast. The nurse should not ask the client to take the drug before bedtime, just before dinner, or after lunch as that is not generally recommended by the health care provider.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse should be cautious about existing conditions such as cardiac disease and also cautious about lactating clients before administering liothyronine to clients with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. The nurse need not be cautious about administering liothyronine to clients with an upper respiratory tract infection, diabetes, or elevated body temperature. The nurse should be cautious about clients contracting an upper respiratory tract infection on administrating antithyroid drugs. A client with diabetes may experience an increase in diabetes while undergoing thyroid hormone replacement therapy. The nurse should observe for elevated body temperature while managing the needs of a client administered thyroid hormones.
