Physical signs of unrelieved pain include which of the following? Select all that apply.

Choice A reason: A blood pressure of 128/76 mm Hg is within the target range for a patient with hypertension, indicating that the current therapy is effectively managing the condition. This reading is below the generally accepted threshold for hypertension, which is 140/90 mm Hg.

Choice B reason: A blood pressure of 148/78 mm Hg is above the target range for hypertension management. This reading suggests that the patient may need an adjustment in their therapy to better control their blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Choice C reason: A blood pressure of 98/56 mm Hg is too low and may indicate hypotension, which can be a concern, especially if the patient experiences symptoms like dizziness or fainting. This reading suggests that the patient's therapy may need to be adjusted to avoid excessively lowering blood pressure.

Choice D reason: A blood pressure of 128/92 mm Hg shows an elevated diastolic pressure, which is above the target range. This indicates that the patient's hypertension is not fully controlled, and adjustments in therapy may be needed to bring both systolic and diastolic pressures within the desired range.

Choice A reason: Synthroid (levothyroxine) is the most commonly prescribed medication for hypothyroidism. It is a synthetic form of thyroxine (T4), which replaces the deficient hormone in patients with hypothyroidism and helps normalize their thyroid function.

Choice B reason: PTU (Propylthiouracil) is typically used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism, not hypothyroidism. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of thyroid hormones.

Choice C reason: Tapazole (methimazole) is also used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism, similar to PTU. It is not used to treat hypothyroidism.

Choice D reason: Propranolol is a beta-blocker that is used to manage symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as tremors and palpitations. It does not treat hypothyroidism.
