Graves’ disease, an autoimmune condition, overstimulates the thyroid gland, leading to hyperthyroidism. Symptoms include rapid heartbeat, weight loss, and irritability. While typically treatable, Graves’ disease can sometimes lead to complications like thyroid storm, a life-threatening condition. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for preventing severe outcomes.
Question:
It can be inferred from the passage that:
A. Graves’ disease is always mild and easily manageable.
B. Graves’ disease is a life-threatening condition.
C. Untreated Graves’ disease can have serious complications.

ANSWERS

LISTENING

Answer: A. Increased workload for other staff members.

Rationale: The conversation highlights the importance of communicating absences in a timely manner to allow for proper staffing adjustments. Uninformed or excessive leave can place an additional burden on other staff members, potentially affecting patient care and morale. While options B and C are not directly related to the potential consequences of uninformed or excessive leave, they are important considerations for effective staff management.

READING

Answer: C. Untreated Graves’ disease can have serious complications.

Rationale: The passage explicitly states that while Graves’ disease is typically treatable, it can lead to complications like thyroid storm, a life-threatening condition. This suggests that untreated Graves’ disease can have severe consequences, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate management. Options A, B, and D are incorrect, as Graves’ disease can be severe, is not always life-threatening, and is not caused by a thyroid gland infection.

WRITING

On examination, Ms. Mihiraa exhibited mild photophobia and an elevated blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg. She appeared visibly anxious and distressed.

SPEAKING

Mihiraa, I understand you’re feeling concerned about your condition. It’s important to communicate your feelings and concerns to your doctor. They can provide you with professional guidance and explore potential medication options that might be helpful. Have you tried any other approaches, such as relaxation techniques or counseling, to manage your symptoms?
