HESI Health and Physical Assessment Exam Study Questions with COMPLETE SOLUTIONS (LATEST 2024] When assessing a client who had a thyroidectomy yesterday, which cue would the nurse associate with an initial sign of hypocalcemia? Headache Pallor Paresthesias Blurred vision - CORRECT ANSWER Paresthesias Rationale Normally, calcium ions block the movement of sodium into cells. When calcium is low, this allows sodium to move freely into cells, creating increased excitability of the nervo...
