Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trauma to the neck that affected the thyroid gland may affect the production and release of the thyroid hormones such as calcitonin, triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4). Therefore, monitoring changes in the levels of these hormones is essential for managing the patient's care. Androgens and thyomamine are not primarily produced or regulated by the thyroid gland, and monitoring their levels would not be a priority in this situation.
