Question 1 of 5

Prior to administering oral doses of calcitriol and calcium carbonate to a client with hypoparathyroidism, the nurse notes that the total level of calcium is 14 mg/dL (3.5 mmol/L). Which action should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A calcium level of 14 mg/dL (3.5 mmol/L) indicates hypercalcemia (normal: 8.5-10.2 mg/dL). Calcitriol and calcium carbonate increase calcium levels, risking toxicity. Holding both and contacting the provider (
