A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results for four clients. The nurse should recognize which of the following clients has a manifestation of hypoparathyroidism?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A.
A client who has a phosphate of 5.7 mg\/dL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B.
A client who has a calcium of 9.8 mg\/dL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C.
A client who has a vitamin D of 25 ng\/mL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D.
A client who has a magnesium of 1.8 mEq\/L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nurse should recognize that the client with a phosphate level of 5.7 mg\/dL has a manifestation of hypoparathyroidism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explanation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hypoparathyroidism is characterized by low levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which leads to low calcium levels and high phosphate levels in the blood. Therefore, an elevated phosphate level is a key indicator of hypoparathyroidism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s a breakdown of the options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A. A client who has a phosphate of 5.7 mg\/dL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is indicative of hypoparathyroidism. In hypoparathyroidism, phosphate levels are typically elevated due to decreased excretion by the kidneys.
B. A client who has a calcium of 9.8 mg\/dL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This calcium level is within the normal range (approximately 8.5-10.2 mg\/dL). Normal calcium levels do not indicate hypoparathyroidism.
C. A client who has a vitamin D of 25 ng\/mL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While vitamin D levels can affect calcium metabolism, a vitamin D level of 25 ng\/mL is not directly indicative of hypoparathyroidism. Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to hypocalcemia, but it is not specific to hypoparathyroidism.
D. A client who has a magnesium of 1.8 mEq\/L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This magnesium level is slightly low (normal range is approximately 1.5-2.5 mEq\/L). While hypomagnesemia can be associated with various conditions, including those affecting calcium metabolism, it is not a specific indicator of hypoparathyroidism.
