Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medical records of clients on a hospital floor. Which client would the nurse expect is most at risk for hyperthyroidism?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A 35-year-old male who has Graves' disease. Graves' disease is a common cause of hyperthyroidism, characterized by an overactive thyroid gland. This client is at the highest risk for hyperthyroidism because the disease directly affects the thyroid function.
Choice A is incorrect because a family history of autoimmune disorders does not directly correlate with hyperthyroidism.
Choice B is incorrect as iodine deficiency typically leads to hypothyroidism, not hyperthyroidism.
Choice C is incorrect as metabolic syndrome is not specifically linked to hyperthyroidism. In summary, the client with Graves' disease is most at risk for hyperthyroidism due to the direct impact of the disease on thyroid function.
