A client has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. What information should the nurse obtain when conducting a focused assessment? Select all that apply.

Choice A Reason: Ketoacidosis is not likely to be the complication that the nurse should suspect, as it is caused by high blood glucose levels and results in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fruity breath, and deep breathing.

Choice B Reason: Hyperglycemia is not likely to be the complication that the nurse should suspect, as it is caused by high blood glucose levels and results in symptoms such as thirst, polyuria, blurred vision, dry skin, and fatigue.

Choice C Reason: Nephropathy is not likely to be the complication that the nurse should suspect, as it is a chronic kidney disease that develops over time due to diabetes and results in symptoms such as proteinuria, edema, hypertension, and anemia.

Choice D Reason: Hypoglycemia is likely to be the complication that the nurse should suspect, as it is caused by low blood glucose levels and results in symptoms such as sweating, tachycardia, lightheadedness, shakiness, hunger, and confusion.

Choice A Reason: Parkinson's disease does not result from too low acetylcholine as a result of an autoimmune reaction, but this may be a description of myasthenia gravis, which affects the neuromuscular junction.

Choice B Reason: Parkinson's disease is not caused by the deterioration of the myelin sheath of the basal ganglia, but this may be a description of multiple sclerosis, which affects the central nervous system.

Choice C Reason: Excess dopamine and deficient acetylcholine are not the two major causes of Parkinson's disease, but they are reversed. Parkinson's disease is caused by low dopamine and high acetylcholine levels in the brain.

Choice D Reason: Parkinson's is caused by depletion of dopamine and excess of acetylcholine, as this affects the balance between these two neurotransmitters that control movement and coordination.
