Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Levothyroxine is a thyroid hormone medicine used to treat hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone)1.

It works by replacing thyroid hormone that is normally produced by the body.

Cold intolerance is a common symptom of hypothyroidism2, so if the client reports that they are not as cold as they used to be, it indicates that the medication is working and their hormone levels are returning to a healthy range.

Choice A is wrong because constipation is a common symptom of hypothyroidism2, so taking a laxative for constipation does not indicate a therapeutic response to the medication.

Choice C is wrong because weight loss without dieting can be a side effect of taking too much levothyroxine.

Choice D is wrong because sleeping more than usual can be a symptom of hypothyroidism2, so it does not indicate a therapeutic response to the medication.

A. "I should notify my provider if my stools turn black.” B. "I should take this medication with 8 ounces of milk.” C. "I should stay upright for at least 15 minutes after taking this medication.” D. "I should take an antacid with this medication to prevent stomach upset.” E. "I should take an antacid with this medication to prevent stomach upset.”

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The correct answer is C. "I should stay upright for at least 15 minutes after taking this medication."

Choice A rationale:

Black stools are a common side effect of iron supplements and do not usually require notification of the provider unless accompanied by other symptoms such as pain or gastrointestinal bleeding.

Choice B rationale:

Iron supplements should not be taken with milk because calcium can interfere with the absorption of iron, reducing its effectiveness.

Choice C rationale:

Staying upright for at least 15 minutes after taking ferrous gluconate helps prevent the risk of esophageal irritation or discomfort, which indicates the client's correct understanding of this key instruction.

Choice D rationale:

Taking an antacid with ferrous gluconate is not recommended because antacids can interfere with the absorption of iron, reducing its efficacy.

Choice E rationale:

This is the same as Choice D and also incorrect for the same reason regarding the interaction between antacids and iron absorption.
