Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new diagnosis of hypothyroidism. On which of the following medications should the nurse prepare to instruct the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Levothyroxine. The rationale is that levothyroxine is a medication commonly used to treat hypothyroidism by replacing the deficient thyroid hormone. It helps regulate the body's metabolism and energy levels. Levofloxacin (
A) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, not related to hypothyroidism. Radioactive iodine (
B) is used to treat hyperthyroidism by destroying thyroid tissue, not applicable for hypothyroidism. Sumatriptan (
C) is used to treat migraines, not related to hypothyroidism.
Therefore, the nurse should prepare to instruct the client on levothyroxine for managing hypothyroidism effectively.
