B: Resting before meals if experiencing dyspnea may be helpful, but it does not address specific nutritional information.

Ken Thom needs instruction on the medications he is taking for his hypothyroidism. You would include which of the following in a teaching plan?
- A. Take medications with meals or with food.
- B. Take medications in the evening or at bedtime.
- C. Report excess weight loss and leg cramps.
- D. Increase the use of iodized salt and spinach.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Thyroid medications will be absorbed better if taken on an empty stomach. Thyroid medications would best be taken in the morning, as they may cause difficulty in sleeping when taken at night. Weight loss should occur, but the patient should be taught to report an excessive loss. Leg cramps may indicate a calcium disturbance that needs correction. Iodine is an antithyroid, decreasing thyroid function. Increasing intake of thyroid would effectively act as an antidote to the thyroid medications Mr. Thom is taking.
