    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Sensitivity to cold is more commonly associated with hypothyroidism, not hyperthyroidism. B. Constipation is also more commonly associated with hypothyroidism; hyperthyroidism often causes increased bowel movements. C. Weight gain is typically not seen in hyperthyroidism; clients often experience weight loss despite an increased appetite. D. Irritability and nervousness are common manifestations of hyperthyroidism due to increased metabolism and sympathetic nervous system activity.
