note = "INTRODUCTION: The numerous physiological changes that take
place during pregnancy, increase the demand for iodine in
the pregnant woman and therefore, may eventually cause
hypothyroidism, with possible obstetric and fetal
consequences. However, it is not usually diagnosed because
its symptomatology is confused with the hypermetabolic
state characteristic of pregnancy, becoming the second most
common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age.
METHODOLOGY: In order to elaborate the bibliography,
studies published in the last ten years have been used. The
objective this review is identifying nursing interventions
in the prevention and control of thyroid hormones in the
assessment of a pregnant woman and identifying risk
factors, signs and symptoms characteristic of
hypothyroidism. DEVELOPMENT: Nursing functions are basic in
the first trimester of pregnancy, since the embryo depends
strictly on the hormones produced by the mother, with the
appearance of thyroid axis disorders with negative
repercussions such as preeclampsia, rupture placentary,
anemia or postpartum hemorrhage in the pregnant woman, and
low weight, respiratory distress or severe neuromotor and
cognitive retardation in the fetus. CONCLUSIONS: Nursing
should perform good praxis and have a current knowledge of
the subject in order to identify the signs and symptoms in
the pregnant woman characteristic of hypothyroidism. A
previous anamnesis and a good physical examination, are
complemented by a good health education about the
importance of healthy habits, highlighting a balanced diet
and the use of iodized salt, thus covering the required
amounts of iodine intake daily.",
