Question 1 of 5
A client describes a 3-week history of hoarseness. The client also reports feeling fatigue and noticeable weight gain over the past month. Which cause should the nurse consider as most likely?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hypothyroidism. Hoarseness, fatigue, and weight gain are classic symptoms of hypothyroidism due to decreased thyroid hormone levels. Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in regulating metabolism and energy levels. Hoarseness can occur due to vocal cord changes from thyroid hormone imbalances. Gingivitis (
B) is inflammation of the gums, unrelated to the symptoms described. Aphthous ulcers (
C) are painful sores in the mouth, not associated with the reported symptoms. Dysphagia (
D) is difficulty swallowing, which is not consistent with the client's presentation.
