Answer to Question 1

D
The major extracellular fluid electrolyte, sodium, regulates fluid balance through osmotic pressure (osmosis). Normal serum sodium range for an adult is from 135 to 145 mEq/L.

Answer to Question 2

B
Teaching strategies that are appropriate for nurses to use with clients who have learning needs in the psychomotor domain include demonstration, in which a nurse presents a skill or procedure in a systematic way while explaining what is being done and why; supervised practice, in which a client performs a skill or procedure while a nurse observes and provides suggestions or corrections as the client proceeds; and return demonstration, in which a client performs a skill or procedure without any coaching from a nurse until the task is completed; the nurse then offers feedback and reinforcement.
