A nurse is reviewing the lab findings of a client who has
suspected hyperthyroidism. An elevation of which of the following
supports this diagnosis?
A. Triiodothyronine (t3)
B. Vanillymandelic (vma)
C. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth)
D. Glycosylated hemoglobin (hba1c) - answer-a. T3 increases a
hyperthyroid state
Vma is for pheochromocytoma and relfects the amount of
catecholamin byproducts, acth is to detect cushing's
A nurse is reviewing the health record of a client who has siadh.
Which of the following lab findings should the nurse expect?
(select all that apply)
,2|Page
A. Low serum sodium
B. High serum potassium
C. Decreased urine osmolality
D. High urine sodium
E. Increased urine-specific gravity - answer-a,d,e -
Siadh results in water retention, causing a low serum
sodium, high urine sodium, and increase in urine-specific
gravity.
