Abstract

Untreated hyperthyroidism during pregnancy is associated with a high incidence of maternal and fetal complications. The perinatal nurse needs knowledge of the pathophysiology of this condition to implement a care plan. Antithyroid medications are used to restore the patient's normal thyroid function. Ongoing evaluation of clinical and laboratory data assists the nurse in recognizing the development and implementation of interventions for complications, such as thyroid crisis and heart failure, in the pregnant patient.
