Answer to Question 1
Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor for a decreased effectiveness of the thyroid drug as the result of the interaction between desiccated thyroid USP and serotonin reuptake inhibitors. When the client is receiving desiccated thyroid USP with serotonin reuptake inhibitors, there is no increase in the risk of paresthesias, hypoglycemia, or prolonged bleeding. When the client is receiving oral anticoagulants with thyroid hormones, the client is at risk of prolonged bleeding. Increased risk of hypoglycemia occurs when oral hypoglycemics and insulin are administered with thyroid hormones to the client. The nurse should observe for paresthesias as one of the adverse reactions in a client receiving antithyroid drugs.
