The nurse should recognize this as Chvostek sign.

<h3>What is Chvostek sign?</h3>

A clinical indication that someone may have low blood calcium levels is the Chvostek sign (a decreased serum calcium, called hypocalcemia). The aberrant twitching of muscles that are stimulated (innervated) by the facial nerve  (also known as Cranial Nerve Seven, or CNVII) is known as the Chvostek sign.

The facial muscles on the same side of the face will occasionally contract when the facial nerve is touched in front of the ear (called ipsilateral facial spasm). Frequently, the muscles that regulate the nose, lips, and brows will spasm.

These kinds of forests can grow in this soil because of the burlap, that's organic materials from its own trees.
