Question 1 of 5

You are caring for a client with hypothyroidism that is taking levothyroxine (Synthroid). The client reports diarrhea, weight loss, palpitations, and heat intolerance. You suspect which of the following adverse effects of this drug?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Thyrotoxicosis. Levothyroxine is a synthetic form of thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism. In some cases, excessive dosage can lead to thyrotoxicosis, characterized by symptoms such as diarrhea, weight loss, palpitations, and heat intolerance. This occurs when the thyroid hormone levels become too high in the body, causing an overactive thyroid state.


Choice A, hypothyroidism, is incorrect because the client is already being treated for hypothyroidism with levothyroxine.

Choices C (Addison's Disease) and D (Cushing's Disease) are unrelated conditions caused by dysfunction of the adrenal glands, not the thyroid.
Therefore, they are incorrect.
