If a choice is more relevant or is more inclusive to the other choices then it may be the most probable answer.

Sample Question

A client is diagnosed with hypothyroidism and is prescribed to take Levothyroxine. The nurse expects the outcome of the medication is to:

1. Suppress Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
2. Control protein synthesis
3. Achieve normal thyroid hormone levels
4. Increase basal metabolic rate

All choices seem to be the correct action of Levothyroxine but if you are to observed choice no. 3 pertain to the action of Levothyroxine and the other three choices fall under it.

Sample Question

A client is diagnosed with hypothyroidism and is prescribed to take Levothyroxine. The nurse expects the outcome of the medication is to:

1. Suppress Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
2. Control protein synthesis
3. Achieve normal thyroid hormone levels
4. Increase basal metabolic rate

Also, if administration of Levothyroxine is successful, it will cause a decrease in the thyroid-stimulating hormone levels. as it progress these levels will proceed to drop and plasma levels of thyroid hormone increase.

Remember to only use this test taking strategy if you DO NOT KNOW the correct answer and is UNSURE of the choices. If you know the answer and it contradicts any test taking strategy, please follow what you know.
