A nurse is assessing an adolescent client who has the parasitic infection scabies. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A) Manic behavior: Hyperthyroidism can lead to manic or hyperactive behavior due to increased metabolic rate and overstimulation of the nervous system. This may present as irritability, anxiety, or restlessness, making manic behavior a relevant manifestation in this condition.

B) Deep, labored respirations: Hyperthyroidism generally does not cause deep, labored respirations. Instead, it may lead to increased respiratory rate due to heightened metabolic activity. Deep, labored respirations are more indicative of respiratory or cardiac issues rather than hyperthyroidism.

C) Bradycardia: Hyperthyroidism usually causes tachycardia (elevated heart rate) rather than bradycardia (slow heart rate). Tachycardia is a common symptom due to the increased metabolic rate and sympathetic nervous system activity associated with hyperthyroidism.

D) Cold intolerance: Cold intolerance is more characteristic of hypothyroidism, where there is decreased metabolic activity and reduced heat production. Hyperthyroidism typically causes heat intolerance due to the increased metabolic rate and elevated body temperature.

A) Teach the client to void over a urine strainer: After lithotripsy, clients are often advised to void over a strainer to catch any small stone fragments that may pass. This helps in monitoring the passage of stone fragments and ensures that any remaining stones can be analyzed for further management.

B) Administer oxybutynin to the client twice per day: Oxybutynin is an anticholinergic medication used to treat bladder spasms. It is not routinely used after lithotripsy unless specifically prescribed for bladder spasms, which are not a common postoperative concern for this procedure.

C) Encourage frequent ambulation for the client: Frequent ambulation is beneficial after lithotripsy as it helps promote overall recovery, reduces the risk of complications like deep vein thrombosis, and can facilitate the passage of stone fragments. Encouraging movement is an essential aspect of postoperative care.

D) Check the client's urine for ketones three times per day: Monitoring for ketones is not typically required following lithotripsy unless there is a specific concern about diabetic ketoacidosis or another condition that warrants ketone monitoring. It is not a standard intervention for postoperative care after lithotripsy.

E) Instruct the client to drink 3 L of fluid per day: Increasing fluid intake is crucial after lithotripsy to help flush out any remaining stone fragments and to prevent new stone formation. Drinking 3 liters of fluid per day is generally recommended to maintain adequate hydration and support the urinary system.
