Ms. Wilson is a 45-year-old female presents to the clinic with unexplained weight loss, anxiety, heat intolerance and palpitations. Exams reveal mild systolic hypertension, exophthalmos, lid lag, non-pitting leg edema, and a diffusely enlarged painless thyroid gland. Lab results showed depressed TSH and borderline T3 and T4. Hyperthyroidism was confirmed.
Question 2 of 5
As a result of low levels of T3 and T4, the nurse should expect Ms. Wilson to exhibit:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Decreased production of thyroid hormones lowers metabolism, which leads to intolerance to cold. However, the question seems to misalign with the hyperthyroidism diagnosis; in hyperthyroidism, T3 and T4 are elevated, but the answer choices suggest hypothyroidism. Given the options, cold intolerance is the correct choice for low T3/T4.
