Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

A history of nausea with cefuroxime is a common side effect and may not be the highest priority to report.

Choice B rationale:

A BUN level of 18 mg/dL is within the normal range and may not be an immediate concern.

Choice C rationale:

Taking aspirin daily may have some interactions with cefuroxime, but a history of a severe penicillin allergy is more critical to report.

Choice D rationale:

Cefuroxime is a cephalosporin antibiotic, and individuals with a severe penicillin allergy may have an increased risk of cross-reactivity with cephalosporins. This history should be reported to the provider for further assessment and consideration of alternative antibiotics.

A. Warmer skin B. Increase in pulse rate C. Increased sleeping D. Weight loss

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

- A: Warmer skin is not expected as methimazole is used to reduce thyroid hormone production, which would decrease metabolism and heat production.
- B: An increase in pulse rate is unlikely because methimazole decreases thyroid hormone levels, leading to a potential decrease in heart rate.
- C: Increased sleeping is expected as methimazole reduces hyperthyroid symptoms, including insomnia, thus normalizing sleep patterns.
- D: Weight loss is not expected; instead, weight stabilization or gain may occur as the metabolism normalizes with treatment.
