Question 1 pts
An elderly client presents with atrial fibrillation. Which of the
following
lab tests is important in forming the diagnosis?
C-reactive protein
(CRP).
Comprehensive metabolic panel
(CMP).
Correct! Thyroid-stimulating hormone
(TSH).
Complete blood count
(CBC).
Atrial fibrillation is a common presentation in
elderly clients with hyperthyroidism. If the TSH is
suppressed, a free
thyroxine (FToTp4) and triiodothyronine (T3)
should be drawn.

Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin.
Radioactive iodine therapy is the most commonly
used treatment in the United States for Graves
disease (hyperthyroidism); however, it is
contraindicated during pregnancy. Therefore, for
women, a pregnancy test (beta- human chorionic
gonadotropin) needs to be performed before initiating
therapy. Women of childbearing age should also be
told to delay conception for a few months after
radioactive
iodine therapy. It is also contraindicated in women
who are breastfeeding. Older adults or clients at risk
of developing cardiac complications may be
pretreated with antithyroid drugs (ATDs) before
therapy to deplete the thyroid gland of stored
hormone, thereby minimizing the risk of
exacerbation of hyperthyroidism because of
radioactive iodine (131I)–
induced thyroiditis.
