Which assessment finding made by the nurse may indicate the onset of hypoparathyroidism?

Recognize the clinical manifestations of hypocalcemia: Low calcium levels can cause neuromuscular symptoms such as muscle cramps, spasms, and tingling sensations, particularly in the hands and feet.

Evaluate the given assessment findings: Compare the symptoms associated with hypoparathyroidism (muscle cramps and spasms) with the other options provided (weight gain, elevated blood glucose levels, increased heart rate).
