What is the normal range of serum chloride level in adults?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The normal range of serum chloride level in adults is 96-106 mEq/L. This range represents the typical concentration of chloride ions in the blood, maintaining electrolyte balance. Choice A (95-110 mg/dL) is incorrect as chloride is measured in mEq/L, not mg/dL. Choice B (10-120 mEq/L) is too broad and includes values outside the normal range. Choice D (1.8-2.6 mEq/L) is incorrect as it is extremely low compared to the normal range. Therefore, the correct answer is C (96-106 mEq/L) as it accurately reflects the normal serum chloride level in adults.
