Answer to Question 1

A
Sodium is the most abundant cation in the blood. Potassium is the predominant intracellular cation. Chloride is an anion (negatively charged) rather then a cation (positively charged). Magnesium is found predominantly inside cells and in bone.

Answer to Question 2

B
Every older adult is unique, and the nurse needs to approach each one as a unique individual. The nursing care of older adults poses special challenges because of great variation in their physiological, cognitive, and psychosocial health. Nurses need to take into account the cultural, ethnic, and racial diversity represented by these numbers (not just age) as they care for older adults from these groups. Aging does not inevitably lead to disability and dependence.
