Reason: Maintaining the client in a supine position, with sandbags placed on either side of her head and neck, is not a priority for a client after a total thyroidectomy, as it may impair breathing and circulation, increase pressure on the surgical site, and cause neck stiffness.

Reason: Encouraging the client to turn head side to side, to promote drainage of oral secretions, is not a priority for a client after a total thyroidectomy, as it may cause pain and discomfort, disrupt the sutures or drains, and increase the risk of infection.

Reason: The procedure will not be cancelled if the urinalysis indicates the presence of red blood cells, but it may indicate a urinary tract infection or kidney damage that needs further evaluation.

Reason: Promoting self-care and independence is a long-term goal for the client's care, but it is not the priority, as it does not affect the acute symptoms of the exacerbation.

Reason: Encouraging deep-breathing exercises is not the most appropriate nursing intervention, as it may not reduce fatigue and may increase respiratory effort.

Reason: Providing a relaxing warm bath is not the most appropriate nursing intervention, as it may worsen fatigue and increase the risk of heat intolerance and dehydration.

Reason: Administering multivitamins is not the most appropriate nursing intervention, as it may not improve fatigue and may cause adverse effects or interactions with other medications.
