Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has hypocalcemia. In which of the following areas should the nurse tap on the clients face to detect the presence of Chvosteks sign?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Cheek just in front of the ear. Chvostek's sign is a facial spasm elicited by tapping the facial nerve in front of the ear. This sign is indicative of hypocalcemia, as low calcium levels can lead to increased nerve excitability. Tapping on the cheek in this specific area allows the nurse to assess for this sign.

Choices B, C, D, E, F, and G are incorrect as they do not target the specific facial nerve area where Chvostek's sign can be elicited. It's important for the nurse to be precise in assessing for this sign to accurately diagnose and manage the client's hypocalcemia.
