Title: You are presented with a 72-year-old male patient who is conscious and alert, but a bit lethargic. T Post by: Nix4Pres on Mar 20, 2016 You are presented with a 72-year-old male patient who is conscious and alert, but a bit lethargic. The patient's daughter called EMS today because she has noticed her father becoming noticeably more lethargic, unemotional, and easily fatigued over the past 2 months. She also states that he has had a decreased appetite and has gained weight over the same period. When asked about any complaints, the patient only says, "I'm constipated and always cold." Which of the following additional signs and/or symptoms would be consistent with this patient presentation?
A) Hypothermia, tachycardia, and hypertension B) A "moon-faced" appearance and hyperpigmentation of the skin C) Goiter, atrial fibrillation, nausea, and vomiting D) A puffy face, an enlarged tongue, and pale, doughy skin Title: Re: You are presented with a 72-year-old male patient who is conscious and alert, but a bit lethargi Post by: feijoa on Apr 2, 2016 Content hidden
