Question 1 of 5

Prior to administering oral doses of calcitriol and calcium carbonate to a client with hypoparathyroidism, the nurse notes that the client’s total calcium level is 14 mg/dL (3.5 mmol/L). Which action should the nurse implement? Reference Range: Total Calcium [Reference Range: Adult 9 to 10.5 mg/dL or 2.25 to 2.62 mmol/L]

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A calcium level of 14 mg/dL indicates hypercalcemia, risking complications like arrhythmias. Holding both calcitriol and calcium carbonate and contacting the provider prevents further calcium elevation. Administering either medication could worsen hypercalcemia, making holding both the safest action.
