When caring for a client, whose being treated for hyperthyroidism, it's important to:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: When caring for a client with hyperthyroidism, it is important to monitor the client for signs of restlessness, sweating, and excessive weight loss during thyroid replacement therapy. Treatment for hyperthyroidism often involves thyroid replacement therapy to restore the balance of thyroid hormones in the body. Monitoring for signs and symptoms of overmedication or undermedication is crucial to ensure the client's health and well-being. Restlessness, sweating, and weight loss can be indicators of an imbalance in thyroid hormone levels and may require adjustments in medication dosage. Regular monitoring and communication with healthcare providers are essential in managing the client's condition effectively.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The major manifestation of nephrotic syndrome is edema. Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder characterized by increased permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier, leading to excessive protein loss in the urine. This results in low levels of protein in the blood, particularly albumin, leading to a decrease in oncotic pressure. The decreased oncotic pressure causes fluid to accumulate in the interstitial spaces, leading to edema formation. Patients with nephrotic syndrome typically present with periorbital edema, pedal edema, and ascites due to the fluid redistribution in the body. Hematuria, hyperalbuminemia, and anemia are not typically the primary manifestations of nephrotic syndrome.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Homer's syndrome, also known as Horner's syndrome, is a rare condition that occurs when the sympathetic nerve supply to the eye and face is disrupted. In the case of lung cancer invading the ribs and affecting the sympathetic nerve ganglia, it can lead to Homer's syndrome. The classic triad of symptoms in Homer's syndrome includes miosis (constriction of the pupil), partial eyelid ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid), and anhidrosis (lack of sweating) on the affected side of the face. These symptoms result from the disruption of sympathetic nerve pathways affecting the pupillary dilator muscle, the Müller muscle responsible for eyelid elevation, and sweat glands on one side of the face. Therefore, when assessing for signs and symptoms of Homer's syndrome in this client, the nurse should focus on looking for these specific manifestations.

Correct Answer: B
