LPN ATI Fundamental Exam | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Bone pain: Bone pain is not a characteristic finding of hypomagnesemia. Hypomagnesemia is an electrolyte imbalance, and bone pain is not a typical symptom associated with it. Drowsiness: Drowsiness may occur in hypomagnesemia, but it is not a specific or characteristic sign of this condition. Other electrolyte imbalances and medical conditions can also cause drowsiness. Bowel hypomotility: Hypomagnesemia can cause bowel hypomotility (decreased bowel movements), but it is not the most specific finding associated with this condition. Positive Chvostek’s sign: Correct. Hypomagnesemia can lead to neuromuscular irritability, and a positive Chvostek’s sign is a clinical manifestation of this condition. A positive Chvostek’s sign is elicited by tapping the facial nerve (at the level of the zygomatic arch) and observing the twitching of the facial muscles, which indicates increased neuromuscular excitability.
