Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor for tachycardia, palpitations, headache, nervousness, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, fatigue, sweating, and flushing as adverse reactions after administering liotrix to a client with thyrotoxicosis. Agranulocytosis, loss of hair, and skin rash are not the adverse reactions to liotrix; they are adverse reactions found in a client receiving a methimazole drug.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C, E
Feedback:
The nurse's preadministration assessment for the client should include vital signs (blood pressure, respiratory rate, pulse, and temperature), allergy history, weight, and notation regarding the outward symptoms of the hyperthyroidism.
