Question

question 3 of 5
the nurse is assessing a client in the clinic who appears restless, excitable, and agitated. the nurse observes that the client has exophthalmos and neck swelling. what diagnosis do these clinical manifestations correlate with?

• hyperthyroidism
• syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (siadh)
• hypothyroidism
• arginine vasopressin deficiency (avp-d)

Explanation:

To determine the diagnosis, we analyze the symptoms: restlessness, excitability, agitation, exophthalmos, and neck swelling. Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) is associated with these symptoms, including exophthalmos (bulging eyes) and goiter (neck swelling) due to increased thyroid hormone levels. SIADH involves fluid retention, hypothyroidism has fatigue and weight gain, and AVP - D is diabetes insipidus with polyuria. So the symptoms match hyperthyroidism.

Answer:

A. Hyperthyroidism
