H=7.65 d. pH=7arrow_forwardHyperchloremia is most likely to result ina. alkalosis.b. acidosis.c. hypernatremia.d. hyperkalemia.e. hypovolemiaarrow_forwardindividuals with cystic fibrosis produce thick mucus in the lungs, resulting in a higher-than-normal level of CO2 in the blood. Please provide information on the following steps as it relates to cystic fibrosis. 1. Identify the problem - What is the problem that results from higher-than-normal levels of CO2 in the blood? Please relate this to buffers in the blood and construct a clear problem statement.arrow_forward
- 1. If pH is (be specific) _________ then a condition of acidosis exists; if pH is (be specific) __________ then a condition of alkalosis exists. 2. If acidosis is the problem, which of the following are possible causes? elevated pCO2 depressed pCO2 elevated HCO3- depressed HCO3- 2. If alkalosis is the problem, which of the following are possible causes? elevated pCO2 depressed pCO2 elevated HCO3- depressed HCO3-arrow_forwardGive an example of respiratory alkalosis and one of metabolicacidosis. In each case, explain how your example illustrates thattype of acid–base disturbance.arrow_forwarda. A 60-year-old man with a history of heavy smoking has the following lab values: pCO2 = 70 mmHg; HCO3- = 30 mmol/L; Arterial pH = 7.25 What is his primary acid base disorder? Metabolic acidosis with no evidence of compensation. Metabolic alkalosis with evidence of a secondary response. Respiratory acidosis with evidence of a secondary response. Respiratory alkalosis with no evidence of compensation. b. A 29-year-old man has been suffering with gastric vomiting for 3 days. What kinds of compensation for his acid base disorder could be occurring in this man? Increased bicarbonate excretion. Increased GFR. Increased respiratory rate. Increased secretion of titratable acids.arrow_forward
