Answer to Question 1

2,5,3,1,4

Global Rationale: The synthesis begins with tyrosine then moves to L-dopa, dopamine, norepinephrine, and ends with the synthesis of epinephrine.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale 1: Electrolytes are responsible for membrane permeability and water balance. An electrolyte imbalance, especially too much sodium, can result in fluid retention.
Rationale 2: Electrolytes are essential for muscle contractions. An imbalance in electrolytes can result in muscle spasms.
Rationale 3: Electrolytes are essential for bone growth and remodeling and may place a patient at risk for fractures, especially when there is an imbalance of calcium.
Rationale 4: There is no indication that electrolyte imbalances result in high cholesterol.
Rationale 5: There is no indication that electrolyte imbalances result in depression.
