I just replaced the battery on my 2007 Sentra and the negative cable is a little loose. The car starts fine but it definitely needs to be tighter before I drive so it doesnt slide off (not that its that loose, but I don't want to take any chances-it really should be tight). What can I do?

You can shim it with some strip of metal like cut from a soup can. Make it to fit wrap on post and slide cable end over and tighten.

I forgot to ask if the cable end clamp is loose on battery or the cable is loose in the clamp?
