Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who is postoperative following a thyroidectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor for? Which finding should the nurse monitor post-thyroidectomy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tachycardia. Following a thyroidectomy, the nurse should monitor for tachycardia due to the risk of thyroid storm, which can cause increased heart rate. Hypotension (
A) is less common post-thyroidectomy. Hyperglycemia (
C) is not a typical finding post-thyroidectomy. Bradypnea (
D) is not expected, as respiratory rate should be monitored for signs of airway obstruction.
