If there is any change in the voice tone of a patient who is recovering from thyroidectomy needs to be reported immediately to the health care provider.

What is thyroidectomy?

It is a surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland which is located in front of the neck. It is a surgery with serious risks and potential complications.

Thyroidectomy is performed when there is thyroid cancer, and thyroid nodules. Thyroid hormone should be provided once after the thyroidectomy to keep the body's function in balance.

Assessing for damage to the laryngeal nerve is also a priority in the postoperative period following thyroidectomy. Changes in voice quality, particularly hoarseness or a husky tone, may be indicative of laryngeal nerve damage.

Let us discuss other options :

  • Hypoactive bowel sounds could be caused by general anesthesia.
  • Blood pressure of 138/70mmHg could be within normal limits for this patient.
  • Postoperative pain would be expected in the perioperative period.

Hence, we should record the change in voice tone after a patient has undergone thyroidectomy.

marshall27 [118]

The law is the USA Patriot Act that gives law enforcement agencies greater power to monitor electronic and other communications with fewer checks.

1. to improve U.S. efforts to stop, uncover, and prosecute international money laundering and terrorism funding;

2. to provide foreign financial institutions, foreign governments, and groups of international transactions that might be abused by criminals additional scrutiny;

3. requiring possible money laundering to be reported by all eligible financial services industry participants;

4. In order to expedite the return of stolen assets to their rightful owners—countries whose citizens they originally belonged—and to tighten policies that prohibit corrupt foreign officials from using the U.S. financial system for personal advantage,
