Question 1 of 5
Levothyroxine sodium is prescribed for a client with hypothyroidism. The nurse should instruct the client to report which symptom because it indicates that the client is taking too much levothyroxine sodium?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Restlessness. When a client with hypothyroidism is taking too much levothyroxine sodium, they may experience symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as restlessness. This is due to an excessive stimulation of the thyroid gland by the medication. Constipation (
A) and intolerance to cold (
B) are symptoms of hypothyroidism, so they would not indicate an overdose of levothyroxine. Decreased appetite (
D) can occur with proper dosing of levothyroxine but is not a specific indicator of overdose.
