Question 1 of 5

A client with hyperthyroidism is receiving radioactive iodine therapy. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D.' The client stating 'I may experience some neck swelling' does not indicate a need for further teaching since neck swelling is an expected side effect of radioactive iodine therapy. Choices A and B are correct statements as the client should avoid close contact with pregnant women and children for a few days due to radiation exposure, and dry mouth and taste changes are common side effects. Choice C is redundant with choice D, making D the correct answer.
