Question 1 of 5

You are caring for a new client that got admitted to the unit for abdominal pain. The client takes levothyroxine (Synthroid) at home. The nurse understands that the client is taking levothyroxine (Synthroid) to treat which of the following conditions?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine (Synthroid) is a synthetic form of thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. The medication helps to restore the hormone levels in the body to normal, improving metabolism, energy levels, and overall well-being.


Choice A, hyperglycemia, is high blood sugar and is not treated with levothyroxine.
Choice C, hypokalemia, is low potassium levels and is not treated with levothyroxine.
Choice D, hypoglycemia, is low blood sugar and is not treated with levothyroxine. The key is to recognize that levothyroxine is specifically used for hypothyroidism.
