Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4

Parents of newborns should be educated about the clinical manifestations associated with hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism in newborns is a very serious condition and may even be fatal. Women are more likely to develop thyroid disease. Women are advised to have thyroid screening diagnostic tests performed if they have a family history of the disease. Iodine deficiency leads to thyroid dysfunction and may occur more often in immigrant populations. Older adults with depression should be evaluated for hypothyroidism. Medications with iodine can increase the client's risk of developing hyperthyroidism, not hypothyroidism.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4

Associated characteristics of a client with Down syndrome are slanted eyes, a protruding tongue, and a shortened neck. Cleft palate and lip and drooping eyelids are not characteristics associated with Down syndrome.
