pituitary and hypothalamus” (McCance, Huether, Brashers, & Rote, 2019). Disruption of the TH
will affect bodily functions such as how the body regulates temperature, heart rate, and all
aspects of metabolism (McCance, Huether, Brashers, & Rote, 2019). The patient will report cold
intolerance, constipation, weight gain, hoarseness, enlarged thyroid, decrease pulse rate, coarse
dry hair, symptoms of depression, and fatigue (Dains, Baumann, & Scheibel, 2020, p.15).
