This client has hypercalcemia.Both forcing fluids and providing cardiac monitoring are appropriate,but because calcium has significant cardiac effects,placing the client on a cardiac monitor takes priority.Assessing for Chvostek's sign and administering calcium would be appropriate for the client with hypocalcemia.
