Rationale

Chvostek's sign is a clinical indicator of hypocalcemia (low calcium levels in the blood). It suggests increased neuromuscular irritability due to low calcium levels affecting nerve excitability.

To elicit Chvostek's sign, the examiner taps lightly over the facial nerve in front of the earlobe. A positive response is observed as twitching or spasm of the facial muscles, typically the lips, nose, and cheek on the same side.

B. Family visits should be limited to 30 minutes per day to minimize their exposure.

A It should be worn consistently by the nurse caring for the client with the radiation implant to monitor their radiation exposure. Giving it to the oncoming nurse at the end of the shift is not appropriate because it does not provide real-time monitoring of radiation exposure for the nurse during their shift.

C. Soiled linens should be kept in the room until the radioactive source is removed to prevent the spread of contamination

D. One should never touch it directly; instead, use long-handled forceps and place it in a lead-lined container for safe disposal.
