Answer: B - Hypocalcemia
Rationale: Manifestations of hypocalcemia include increased neuromuscular excitability,
tingling, muscle spasms in feet and facial muscles, intestinal cramping, increased bowel
sounds, osteoporosis and fractures. Severe hypocalcemia can exhibit convulsions, tetany,
a prolonged QT interval and cardiac arrest. Two clinical signs of hypocalcemia include
Chvostek sign and Trousseau sign. The Chvostek sign is elicited by tapping on the facial
nerve just underneath the temple. A positive sign will result in a twitch of the nose or lip
(Huether, 2019).
