Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A goiter, an enlargement of the thyroid gland, may be associated with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, but patients with goiters may also be euthyroid, a condition termed nontoxic goiter.

Answer to Question 2

Clinical manifestations of Grave's disease (hyperthyroidism) include diffuse goiter, nervousness, irritability, tremor, heat intolerance, weakness, tachycardia, palpitations, widened pulse pressure, increased sweating, weight loss, insomnia, frequent bowel movements, menstrual irregularities, exophthalmos, and infiltrative dermopathy. Patients older than 50 years often present with cardiac symptoms, such as hypertension, atrial fibrillation, or heart failure.
