A nurse is collecting data from a client who has hypocalcemia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. Skeletal muscle weakness is more commonly associated with hypercalcemia, not hypocalcemia. B. Tetany, which includes involuntary muscle contractions, spasms, and cramping, is a classic sign of hypocalcemia due to increased neuromuscular excitability. Positive Chvostek and Trousseau signs may also be observed. C. Hypoactive bowel sounds are typically seen with hypercalcemia; hypocalcemia more often causes increased neuromuscular irritability rather than decreased gastrointestinal motility. D. Decreased deep-tendon reflexes occur with hypercalcemia or hypokalemia; hypocalcemia usually causes hyperactive reflexes.
