One common physical exam finding with hypocalcemia is perioral numbness or tingling.[11] If a patient complains of these clinical symptoms, coupled with a good history and physical exam findings, further evaluation may be necessary. The nursing staff has the most contact with patients, and they may be the first to find these new symptoms. The nursing staff should notify the physicians if the patient has any new physical exam findings. A close relationship between nursing staff and physicians, operating as an interprofessional team, is integral to patient care. This leads to better interprofessional communication, leading to better patient outcomes.
