The patient shows involunt ary flexion of their wrist when blood pressure is measured. Carpal spasms (Trousseau’s sign) indicate hypocalcemia which can occur after thyroidectomy due to accidental removal or damage to the parathyroid glands.

Option D: Drowsiness may be a side effect of the anesthesia used during surgery and will fade away eventually; a sore throat is a normal finding after t hyroid surgery. Option F: Hoarseness of voice is a common side effect of post -op thyroidectomy due to one or more of the nerves irritated during the procedure of due to inflammation that occurs after surgery. 4. 4.
