Question 1 of 5
The healthcare provider prescribes propylthiouracil (PTU) and Lugol's solution, a strong iodine solution, for a client with hyperthyroidism. How should the nurse schedule the administration of these medications?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Administering Lugol's solution one hour before PTU allows iodine to suppress thyroid hormone release before PTU takes effect, enhancing therapeutic outcomes in hyperthyroidism. PTU should be taken on an empty stomach, and the medications should not be given together or at bedtime without specific timing considerations.
