The nurse is assessing a patient with hypoparathyroidism. Which assessment finding does the nurse expect to see in this patient?

The 58-year-old patient presents to the emergency department complaining of worsening back pain that started a few days ago. He states, “I thought maybe I had slept wrong and gotten a spasm, but I’m not sure. I didn’t fall or get hit or anything. The ibuprofen I took definitely didn’t help.” His blood pressure is 174/96 mmHg and heart rate is 96 bpm. He reports being out of his antihypertensive medication for the past week while he was out of town. Other history is notable for arthritis in the hands and a 44-pack-year smoking history. He drinks socially but denies illicit drug use. Which assessment is most important? 

 The nurse is the first responder after a child is pulled unresponsive from the pool. There is no pulse and no breathing. The nurse sends someone for the AED, instructs another person to call 911, and begins chest compressions. By looking transversely at the chest, select the depth to which the nurse compresses the chest, if each line represents an inch of compression.
