Question 1 of 5

The nurse in the emergency room is reviewing the health record of a client who is being evaluated for Graves' disease. Which of the following laboratory results is an expected finding?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). In Graves' disease, there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones due to autoimmune stimulation of the thyroid gland. This leads to suppression of TSH production by the pituitary gland as a feedback mechanism.
Therefore, a decreased TSH level is an expected finding in Graves' disease.
Incorrect choices: A: Decreased thyrotropin receptor antibodies - In Graves' disease, there is an increase in thyrotropin receptor antibodies. B: Decreased free thyroxine index - In Graves' disease, there is an increase in free thyroxine levels. C: Decreased triiodothyronine - In Graves' disease, there is an increase in triiodothyronine levels.
