A nurse is assessing a client who has hyperthyroidism. The nurse should expect the client to report which of the following manifestations?

A. Sensitivity to cold: Sensitivity to cold is more commonly associated with hypothyroidism, not hyperthyroidism. In hyperthyroidism, clients often experience heat intolerance due to the increased metabolic rate. B. Constipation: Constipation is typically a symptom of hypothyroidism. In hyperthyroidism, clients usually experience increased bowel movements or diarrhea due to a faster metabolism. C. Frequent mood changes: Hyperthyroidism can cause frequent mood changes, including irritability, anxiety, and nervousness, due to increased levels of thyroid hormones affecting the nervous system. D. Weight gain of 4.5 kg (10 lb) in 3 weeks: Weight gain is generally not associated with hyperthyroidism. Weight loss is more common in hyperthyroidism due to the increased metabolism and energy expenditure.
