The nurse is teaching a client who has been prescribed propylthiouracil (PTU) for hyperthyroidism. Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching? (Select 3 options)

A. “I will need to have my white blood cell count checked regularly while taking this medication.": Propylthiouracil (PTU) can cause agranulocytosis, a condition that reduces the number of white blood cells, increasing the risk of infection. Regular monitoring of the white blood cell count is important to detect this potential side effect early. B. “This medication helps by blocking the production of thyroid hormones.": Propylthiouracil (PTU) works by inhibiting the production of thyroid hormones in the thyroid gland, which helps in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. C. “I need to check my blood glucose levels daily.”: PTU does not directly affect blood glucose levels. Monitoring blood glucose is recommended for patients on medications that affect insulin or blood sugar regulation, such as corticosteroids or some antipsychotic medications, not PTU. D. “Once my symptoms improve, I can stop taking the medication without telling my provider.”: Clients should continue taking PTU as prescribed, even if symptoms improve. Discontinuing the medication without consulting the provider could lead to relapse or worsening of hyperthyroidism. E. “If I feel extremely tired or notice yellowing of my skin, I should report it immediately.": Fatigue and yellowing of the skin (jaundice) can be signs of liver toxicity, a serious side effect of PTU. Any such symptoms should be reported immediately to prevent further complications.
