A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 day postoperative following a subtotal thyroidectomy. The client reports a tingling sensation in the hands, the soles of the feet, and around the lips. For which of the following findings should the nurse assess the client?

A. Brudzinski's sign: Brudzinski's sign is used to assess for meningeal irritation, typically in the context of meningitis. It is not relevant to the tingling sensation associated with postoperative thyroidectomy. B. Kernig's sign: Kernig's sign is another indicator of meningeal irritation and is not related to the symptoms of tingling associated with low calcium levels after a thyroidectomy. C. Chvostek's sign: Chvostek's sign is a clinical indicator of hypocalcemia, which can occur after a thyroidectomy due to inadvertent damage to the parathyroid glands. Tingling in the hands, feet, and around the lips is a classic symptom of hypocalcemia. D. Babinski's sign: Babinski's sign assesses for neurological damage, particularly in the context of an upper motor neuron lesion, and is not related to hypocalcemia or the symptoms described in this case.
