The client diagnosed with hyperthyroidism is complaining of being hot and cannot sit still. Which should the nurse do based on the assessment?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Heat intolerance and restlessness are hyperthyroidism symptoms; vital signs assess for exacerbation (e.g., thyroid storm). Monitoring, sedatives, or rest are less appropriate.
