Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing a thyroid storm. Which of the following findings should the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Tachycardia. In a thyroid storm, there is an excessive release of thyroid hormones leading to severe symptoms. Tachycardia is a hallmark sign due to the increased metabolic rate and sympathetic response. Coma (
A) is a severe complication but not an anticipated finding. Hypothermia (
B) is incorrect as the body temperature is typically elevated. Fruity smelling breath (
D) is more indicative of diabetic ketoacidosis, not thyroid storm.
