Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Hyperparathyroidism is most often caused by a tumor or hyperplasia of a parathyroid gland. Hypoparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism are not associated with hyperplasia of the parathyroid gland. Clinical manifestations and treatment of hyperparathyroidism are the same as those of hypercalcemia.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Initial symptoms of LAST may include analgesia, circumoral numbness, metallic taste, tinnitus or auditory changes, and agitation. Nausea, dysrhythmias, and continued sensory nerve function do not suggest LAST.
