Answer to Question 1

B
A focused assessment is an assessment that is limited in scope in order to focus on a particular need or health care problem or potential health care risks. Focused assessments are not as detailed as comprehensive assessments and are often used in health care agencies in which short stays are anticipated, in specialty areas such as labor and delivery, and in mental health settings or for purposes of screening for specific problems or risk factors.

Answer to Question 2

B
Hypocalcemia is associated with a positive Chvostek's sign or the contraction of facial muscles when the facial nerve is tapped. Hyporeflexia is associated with hypokalemia. Muscle weakness is associated with hypermagnesemia. Muscle weakness is also associated with hyperphosphatemia.
