    Which is the priority nursing problem for a client with hypoparathyroidism?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Hypoparathyroidism can lead to hypocalcemia, which increases the risk of tetany and seizures, making the risk for injury the highest priority. B. Deficient knowledge is important to address but is secondary to immediate physiological risks. C. Anxiety may be present but is not as critical as the risk for injury due to hypocalcemia. D. Imbalanced nutrition should be managed but is not the immediate priority compared to the risk for injury.
