Question 1 of 5

The nurse caring for a client with Graves' disease is concerned about the client's calorie intake because of the resulting hypercatabolic state of the disorder. Which situation indicates a successful outcome for this concern?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Graves' disease causes a state of chronic nutritional and caloric deficiency caused by the metabolic effects of excessive T3 and T4. Clinical manifestations are weight loss and increased appetite.
Therefore, it is a nutritional goal that the client will not lose additional weight and he or she will gradually return to the ideal body weight, if necessary.
To accomplish this, the client must be encouraged to eat frequent high-calorie, high-protein, and high-carbohydrate meals and snacks.
