Goitre

Goitre ( 40 Questions)

The nurse is reviewing the diagnostic process for a client with a suspected goiter. Which imaging technique is commonly used to visualize the size, shape, and characteristics of the thyroid gland?



Correct Answer: D

Thyroid ultrasound is a noninvasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to visualize the thyroid gland, assess its size, shape, and characteristics, and identify any abnormalities or nodules.

Incorrect choices:

a. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is used to assess the electrical activity of the heart and is not related to thyroid imaging.

b. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and c. Computed tomography (CT) scan are imaging techniques that may be used for other purposes but are not typically used for routine thyroid imaging.
