Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has Graves' disease and is to start therapy with propylthiouracil. The nurse should expect which of the following outcomes?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Decreased heart rate. Propylthiouracil is an antithyroid medication used to treat hyperthyroidism, such as Graves' disease. It works by inhibiting the production of thyroid hormones. A decreased heart rate is an expected outcome as hyperthyroidism can cause tachycardia (increased heart rate), and treatment with propylthiouracil helps normalize heart rate.
Incorrect options:
A: Increased Hct - Propylthiouracil does not affect hematocrit levels.
B: Decreased WBC count - Propylthiouracil does not typically affect white blood cell count.
D: Increased blood pressure - Propylthiouracil does not lead to an increase in blood pressure.
