Question 1 of 5
The nurse caring for a client with thyroid disease notes a current T4 level of 2.9 mcg/dL (normal range: 5-11.5 mcg/dL). Which findings are consistent with this result?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hypotension and periorbital edema are findings that can be associated with hypothyroidism, which is consistent with the low T4 level of 2.9 mcg/dL. Hypothyroidism can lead to reduced cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance, causing hypotension. Periorbital edema is also a common sign of hypothyroidism due to mucopolysaccharide deposition in the skin.
