Question 1 of 5
The nurse is taking care of a patient who has hypothyroid disease. What category medications would the nurse anticipate be ordered?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: replacement. In hypothyroid disease, the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone, so replacement medications like levothyroxine are needed to supplement the hormone. This helps restore normal thyroid hormone levels in the body.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because hypothyroidism is a chronic condition that requires ongoing treatment rather than a curative, prophylactic, or palliative approach.
