Laryngeal nerve damage from thyroidectomy results in a hoarse or whispery voice. Patients are at risk for hypocalcemia from parathyroid damage or removal, exhibited by positive Chvostek's and Trousseau's signs. Thyroid crisis within 12 hours of thyroidectomy causes exaggerated hyperthyroidism signs like fever and restlessness, unlike diabetic ketoacidosis causing polyuria or hypoglycemia causing weakness. Radiation to the oral cavity increases cavity risk by altering saliva composition, enamel damage, and cell damage allowing bacterial overgrowth.

Laryngeal nerve damage is manifested by severe hoarseness of voice of "whispery voice".
2. A
The client who has undergone a thyroidectomy is at risk for developing hypocalcemia from inadvertent removal or damage to the parathyroid gland. The client with hypocalcemia will exhibit a positive Chvostek's sign (facial muscle contraction when the facial nerve in front of the ear is tapped) and a positive Trousseau's sign (carpal spasm when a blood pressure cuff is inflated for a few minutes). These signs aren't present with hypercalcemia, hypokalemia, or hyperkalemia.
3. B
Thyroid crisis usually occurs in the first 12 hours after thyroidectomy and causes exaggerated signs of hyperthyroidism, such as high fever, tachycardia, and extreme restlessness. Diabetic ketoacidosis is more likely to produce polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia; hypoglycemia, to produce weakness, tremors, profuse perspiration, and hunger. Tetany typically causes uncontrollable muscle spasms, stridor, cyanosis, and possibly asphyxia.
4. C
Weight loss, anxiety, insomnia and palpitations are signs of hyperthyroidism. An adjustment in dose would need to be obtained in order to reach a therapeutic level of levothyroxine (Synthroid) in the patient with hypothyroidism.
5. C
Radiation therapy that is directed in or around the oral cavity has a variety of actions that increase the risk for dental caries (cavities) and tooth decay. The salivary glands are affected, which changes the composition of the person's saliva and often causes "dry mouth." This result allows rapid bacterial overgrowth, which leads to cavity formation. In addition, the radiation damages the integrity of the enamel and also damages some of the living cells in the tooth. All contribute to an increased risk for dental infections and cavities.

Insulin and estrogen enhance the division of an initiated cell during the promotion phase. These promoters increase cell division.

Thrombocytopenia, or low platelet levels, cause bleeding, not low neutrophils (a type of white blood cell [WBC]).

Ondansetron is a 5-HT3 receptor blocker that blocks serotonin to prevent nausea and vomiting.

The nurse can increase the nutritional density of foods by adding items high in protein and/or calories (such as peanut butter, skim milk powder, cheese, honey, or brown sugar) to foods the patient will eat. Increasing fluid intake at mealtime fills the stomach with fluid and decreases the desire to eat. Small frequent meals are best tolerated. Supplements can be helpful.
