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: D

Rationale: The options seem misaligned with the question, as they describe instructions, not symptoms. However, taking levothyroxine early in the day prevents insomnia, a symptom of excessive dosing (hyperthyroidism). Clients should report symptoms like insomnia, palpitations, or restlessness, indicating overdose. Fluid intake, standing slowly, or twice-weekly dosing are unrelated to overdose symptoms.
