Explanation:

Question 5

Addison’s disease is adrenal insufficiency, leading to low cortisol/aldosterone. Hypotension (low BP), bronze skin (pigmentation), and electrolyte imbalance (low Na, high K) are common. Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) is rare as cortisol (which raises blood sugar) is low; instead, hypoglycemia is more common.

• Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) is treated with medications that reduce thyroid hormone. Tapazole (methimazole) and Lugol’s solution (iodine preparation to reduce hormone production) are for hyperthyroidism.
• Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is treated with thyroid hormone replacement, like Synthroid (levothyroxine).

So:

1. Hyperthyroidism - Tapazole
2. Hyperthyroidism - Lugol’s Solution
3. Hypothyroidism - Synthroid

Answer:

Hyperglycemia
