ATI Capstone Week 11 Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse assessing a client hospitalized with a diagnosis of hypoparathyroidism notes positive Trousseau's and Chvostek's signs. The nurse determines that these findings most indicate which electrolyte imbalance?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hypocalcemia. Trousseau's and Chvostek's signs are classic manifestations of hypocalcemia. Trousseau's sign is the carpal spasm induced by inflating a blood pressure cuff above systolic pressure, indicating neuromuscular irritability. Chvostek's sign is facial muscle spasm elicited by tapping the facial nerve, also indicative of neuromuscular irritability due to low calcium levels. Hypernatremia (
A), hypermagnesemia (
B), and hypokalemia (
D) do not typically present with these specific signs related to neuromuscular irritability seen in hypocalcemia.
