Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a thyroidectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor for as a complication?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hypocalcemia. After a thyroidectomy, the parathyroid glands may be damaged, leading to decreased calcium levels. This can cause neuromuscular irritability, tingling, muscle cramps, and even seizures. Monitoring for hypocalcemia is crucial for early detection and intervention. Tachycardia (
A) can be a normal response postoperatively. A fever of 37.5°C (99.5°F) (
C) may indicate infection but isn't a common complication of thyroidectomy. Increased appetite (
D) is unrelated to post-thyroidectomy complications.
