which complication is suspected in a client whose blood sugar is less than 30 mg/dl?
bradycardia
anhidrosis
anorexia
seizure

Explanation:

For Question 1: Athetosis is characterized by slow, involuntary, twisting and writhing movements. The other statements are incorrect - brief, irregular dancing - like movements are chorea, severe thrashing is ballismus, and while antipsychotics can be used for some movement disorders, this statement doesn't define athetosis.
For Question 2: Severe hypoglycemia (blood sugar < 30 mg/dL) can cause neurological symptoms including seizures. Bradycardia is a slow - heart rate, anhidrosis is lack of sweating, and anorexia is loss of appetite, none of which are typical complications of such severe hypoglycemia.

Answer:

Question 1: "Athetosis refers to twisting and writhing movements."
Question 2: Seizure
