A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing a thyroid storm. Which of the following findings should the nurse anticipate?

A. "If you become pregnant, low thyroid hormone levels can affect your developing fetus." Hypothyroidism during pregnancy can lead to developmental issues in the fetus. Adequate thyroid hormone levels are crucial for fetal neurodevelopment and growth.

B. "Hypothyroidism can cause autoimmune disorders over time.": Hypothyroidism itself is often caused by autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto's thyroiditis, not the other way around.

C. "Low thyroid hormone levels will cause your metabolism to speed up and heart rate to increase.": This describes hyperthyroidism, not hypothyroidism.

D. "Low blood pressure is usually associated with hypothyroidism.": Hypothyroidism can lead to increased blood pressure, not low blood pressure.

A. "Medication is usually not prescribed to treat oppositional defiant disorder. Let's discuss some behavioral strategies you can use." Behavioral interventions are the mainstay of treatment for ODD. Medications are not typically recommended unless there are comorbid conditions like ADHD or aggression that do not respond to behavioral interventions alone.

B. There are many medications that will help your child manage aggression and destructiveness. The health care provider will discuss them with you: This statement is misleading as medications are not first-line for ODD.

C. "Medication is not used to treat this oppositional defiant disorder because it is behavioral in nature.": This is an oversimplification; while primarily behavioral, medications might be considered in certain cases.

D. "It's a common misconception that there is a medication available to treat every health problem.": This statement dismisses the possibility of appropriate medication when needed.
