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.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Membrane bound cell organelles

Explanation:

A prokaryotic cell lacks a membrane defined nucleus and all the membrane-bound organelles. A eukaryotic cell has a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, etc.

To determine if a cell is a prokaryotic or eukaryotic, one can look for the nucleus and the membrane-bound organelles. If the cell has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, it is a eukaryotic cell. The absence of these structures makes it a prokaryotic cell.
