question 14 of 20
for a client with graves disease, which nursing intervention promotes comfort?

• maintaining room temperature in the low-normal range
• limiting intake of high-carbohydrate foods
• restricting intake of oral fluids
• placing extra blankets on the clients bed

Explanation:

Graves' disease causes hyperthyroidism, leading to increased metabolic rate and heat intolerance. Maintaining room temperature in the low - normal range helps the client feel more comfortable as they are sensitive to heat. Limiting high - carbohydrate foods is not related to comfort for Graves' disease clients. Restricting oral fluids can cause discomfort and is not appropriate. Placing extra blankets would increase heat, which is not good for a client with heat intolerance.

Answer:

A. Maintaining room temperature in the low - normal range
