A client is being treated for hyperthyroidism with propylthiouracil (PTU). The nurse knows
that the action of this drug is to
A) decrease the amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone circulating in the blood.
B) increase the amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone circulating in the blood.
C) increase the amount of T4 and decrease the amount of T3 produced by the thyroid.
D) inhibit synthesis of T3 and T4 by the thyroid gland.
D) inhibit synthesis of T3 and T4 by the thyroid gland.
PTU is an adjunct therapy used to control hyperthyroidism by inhibiting production of thyroid
hormones (D). It is often prescribed in preparation for thyroidectomy or radioactive iodine
therapy. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland, and PTU does
not affect the pituitary (A and B). PTU inhibits the synthesis of all thyroid hormones--both T3
and T4(C).
A client has myxedema, which results from a deficiency of thyroid hormone synthesis in
adults. The nurse knows that which medication should be contraindicated for this client?
A) Liothyronine (Cytomel) to replace iodine.
B) Furosemide (Lasix) for relief of fluid retention.

C) Pentobarbital sodium (Nembutal Sodium) for sleep.
D) Nitroglycerin (Nitrostat) for angina pain.
C) Pentobarbital sodium (Nembutal Sodium) for sleep.
Persons with myxedema are dangerously hypersensitive to narcotics, barbiturates (C), and
anesthetics. They do tolerate liothyronine (Cytomel) (A) and usually receive iodine
replacement therapy. These clients are also susceptible to heart problems such as angina for
which nitroglycerin (Nitrostat) (D) would be indicated, and congestive heart failure for which
furosemide (Lasix) (B) would be indicated.
Which change in data indicates to the nurse that the desired effect of the
angiotensin II receptor antagonist valsartan (Diovan) has been achieved?
A) Dependent edema reduced from +3 to +1.
B) Serum HDL increased from 35 to 55 mg/dl.
C) Pulse rate reduced from 150 to 90 beats/minute.
D) Blood pressure reduced from 160/90 to 130/80.
D) Blood pressure reduced from 160/90 to 130/80.

Diovan is an angiotensin receptor blocker, prescribed for the treatment of hypertension. The
desired effect is a decrease in blood pressure (D). (A, B, and C) do not describe effects of
Diovan.
A client is receiving digoxin for the onset of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Which
laboratory findings should the nurse identify that places this client at risk?
A) Hypokalemia.
B) Hyponatremia.
C) Hypercalcemia.
D) Low uric acid levels.
A) Hypokalemia.
Hypokalemia affects myocardial contractility, so (A) places this client at greatest risk for
dysrhythmias that may be unresponsive to drug therapy. Although an imbalance of serum
electrolytes, (B and C), can effect cardiac rhythm, the greatest risk for the client receiving
digoxin is (A). (D) does not cause any interactions related to digoxin therapy for
supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).
