When assisting with the development of a care plan for a client with hyperthyroidism, the nurse would anticipate which treatment?

A. Cholelithotomy: This procedure is performed to remove gallstones (cholelithiasis), which is unrelated to hyperthyroidism. It does not address the treatment needs for a client with hyperthyroidism. B. Radiation of thyroid: One common treatment for hyperthyroidism, particularly in Graves' disease, is radioactive iodine therapy. The radioactive iodine is used to destroy overactive thyroid tissue, which helps to reduce the production of thyroid hormones. C. Whipple procedure: The Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) is a surgery typically used for pancreatic cancer or other conditions affecting the pancreas. It is not a treatment for hyperthyroidism. D. Administration of oral thyroid hormone: Oral thyroid hormone (such as levothyroxine) is used to treat hypothyroidism. For hyperthyroidism, treatments focus on reducing thyroid hormone production, such as using radioactive iodine or antithyroid medications.
