    While caring for a patient with a history of hypothyroidism, the nurse expects which of the following medications to be included in the patient's medication list?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Prophylactic: Prophylactic medications are preventive, which is not relevant in the treatment of hypothyroidism. B. Replacement: The treatment for hypothyroidism involves replacing the deficient thyroid hormone with synthetic hormones like levothyroxine. C. Palliative: Palliative care is not the standard approach for hypothyroidism. The focus is on hormone replacement therapy. D. Curative: There is no cure for hypothyroidism, so curative therapy is not applicable.
