Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Nonionized calcium is not the physiologically active form of calcium.
Rationale 2: Substances bound to albumin are not free to leave the bloodstream to carry out biological activities.
Rationale 3: Complexed calcium is not the physiologically active form of calcium.
Rationale 4: Ionized calcium is the only physiologically and clinically significant form of calcium.
Global Rationale: About 50 of the serum calcium is in an active, ionized form that participates in intracellular functions, including neuromuscular activity and blood coagulation. This is the only physiologically and clinically significant form of calcium. Substances bound to albumin are not free to leave the bloodstream to carry out biological activities. Complexed calcium is not the physiologically active form of calcium.
