Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Most (99) of the magnesium in the body is intracellular. Of the small portion in extracellular spaces, 80 is ionized or bound to other ions (e.g., phosphate) with the remaining 20 bound to proteins.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Hyponatremia can lead to cerebral edema due to a change in osmotic pressure. The two most common causes for acute hyponatremia are postoperative iatrogenic and self-induced due to wa-ter intoxication.
