Problem: An 87-year-old guy has Hypothyroidism. He is in a wheelchair and besides his primary diagnosis (Hypothyroidism), he also has Addison's disease and prostate cancer.
If I were his nurse:
1. What nursing intervention can you perform for this patient?
2. Are there any nursing interventions that are contraindicated? If so what and why?
3. According to those interventions, what outcomes do you expect?
4. How will you know you have reached the expected outcomes?
