Question 1 of 5

A nurse is admitting a client who has a serum calcium level of 12.3 mg/dL (9-10.5 mg/dL). Which finding should the nurse expect during the initial assessment?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increased blood clots. A serum calcium level of 12.3 mg/dL indicates hypercalcemia, which can lead to increased blood coagulability and risk of blood clots. High calcium levels can promote platelet aggregation and stimulate the coagulation cascade. This can result in an increased risk of thrombus formation. Hyperactive bowel sounds (choice
A) are not typically associated with hypercalcemia. Hyperactive deep tendon reflexes (choice
C) are more commonly seen in hypocalcemia. Positive Chvostek's sign (choice
D) is a clinical sign of hypocalcemia, not hypercalcemia.
