Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is newly diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and reports dry eyes and sensitivity to light. The nurse notes that the client's eyes have a bulging appearance. Which of the following should the nurse include in the client's plan of care?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Eye drops and dim lighting can improve your symptoms. In hyperthyroidism, the bulging appearance of the eyes, known as exophthalmos, can lead to dry eyes and sensitivity to light. Eye drops can help alleviate dryness, and dim lighting can reduce discomfort from light sensitivity. This intervention addresses the client's specific symptoms and promotes comfort.


Choice A is incorrect because sunlight exposure can exacerbate light sensitivity in clients with hyperthyroidism.
Choice B is incorrect as it does not provide a direct intervention for the client's symptoms and delays addressing the discomfort.
Choice D is incorrect because surgery is not typically the first-line treatment for eye symptoms in hyperthyroidism; conservative measures are usually tried first.
