Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 day postoperative following a subtotal thyroidectomy. This morning's labs show a calcium level of 3 mg/dL (9-10.5 mg/dL). Which assessment would the nurse anticipate to be positive?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Chvostek's sign. A calcium level of 3 mg/dL indicates hypocalcemia, a common complication post-thyroidectomy due to accidental removal or injury to parathyroid glands. Chvostek's sign is a facial muscle spasm when tapping the facial nerve, indicating hypocalcemia. Chadwick's sign (
A) is bluish discoloration of the cervix in pregnancy. Murphy's sign (
B) is used to assess for gallbladder inflammation. Babinski's sign (
C) is used to assess for central nervous system disorders.
Therefore, Chvostek's sign is the appropriate assessment in this context.
