Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has hypothyroidism. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Rationale: Hypothyroidism is characterized by decreased thyroid hormone levels, leading to symptoms such as lethargy due to slowed metabolism. Exophthalmos (bulging eyes) is associated with hyperthyroidism. Photophobia (sensitivity to light) is not a common symptom of hypothyroidism. Weight loss is more indicative of hyperthyroidism due to increased metabolism.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: Lethargy, as it aligns with the expected findings in hypothyroidism.
