Answer:

The hormones involved in the calcium homeostasis are parathyroid hormone, cholecalciferol and calcitonin.

Explanation:

The maintenance of calcium level in the body is important for the proper functioning of body. The increased level of calcium is known as hypercalcemia and low level of calcium in body is known as hypocalcemia.

Hormones that regulate the level of calcium in blood are as follows:

Parathyroid hormone: The parathyroid hormone stimulate the calcium reabsorption in case of hypocalcemia. The osteoclast bone activity increases and calcium reabsorption from renal tubule, increases the calcium level of the body. This maintains calcium homeostasis in the body.  

Calcitonin: An increase in the calcium ion concentration stimulates the secretion of calcitonin. The calcitonin hormone inhibits the osteoclast bone reabsorption, decreases the blood level in the body.

Cholecalciferol: This is also known as vitamin D metabolites. This hormone is stimulated in case of low calcium levels. The calcium level can be increased in the body by increasing the phosphate and calcium absorption from the gastro intestinal tract.

yuradex [85]

To assess the cranial nerves 3,4, and 6 all at once, the nurse should use the <u>test </u><u>eye</u><u> movement technique using the penlight.</u>

To test cranial nerves III, IV, and VI (oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens) together.

Test the eye movement with a penlight. Stand 30 cm in front of the patient and ask them to follow the direction of the penlight with their eyes only. At eye level, move the penlight left to right, right to left, top to bottom, top right to bottom left, and top left to bottom right. Also, pay attention to eye movements in all fields. An unexpected finding is an involuntary eye tremor called nystagmus.

Test the pupils on both sides to make sure they are evenly rounded and respond to light and accommodation. Dim the lights in the room before running this test. The pupil should be round and the same size on both sides.
