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: B
Rationale: Lugol’s solution reduces thyroid hormone production, enhancing PTU’s inhibition of hormone synthesis. Administering iodine one hour before PTU optimizes efficacy. Bedtime, parenteral, or meal-time administration are incorrect.
