Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Which of the following is characterized as metabolic alkalosis?a. increased pH, decreased pCO2, decreased HCO3–b. increased pH, increased pCO2, increased HCO3–c. decreased pH, decreased pCO2, decreasedHCO3–d. decreased pH, increased pCO2, increased HCO3–Harold has been suffering from diabetes mellitus for approximately 15 years. As a result of having recently lost his job and being under a great deal of stress, he has not been adequately managing his diabetes. His breath smells sweet, a sign of producing ketoacids. Harold is most likely suffering from which type of pH imbalance? a. respiratory acidosis b. metabolic acidosis c. respiratory alkalosis d. metabolic alkalosisOne indication for the addition of larger doses of potassium beyond the basic requirements is: Select one: O a. Hyperlipidemia O b. O C. O d. Increased levels of Sodium Anemia (reduction of red blood cells) Increased metabolic demands
- With keto acidosis associated with diabetes, which factor is decreased?(select all that apply) a. Renal secretion of H+ b. Plasma H c. Plasma pH d. Blood volume e. HCO3-levelsHyperaldosteronism (excessive aldosterone release) can be caused by many disease states including tumours in the adrenal gland. By now, we should be familiar with how this will affect sodium balance and blood pressure, but how would hyperaldosteronism affect potassium levels and why? Select one potassium effect (a or b) and one cause (c-f). a. The patient will become hyperkalemic. O b. The patient will become hypokalemic. O c. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Increased sodium reabsorption increases water reabsorption, which then establishes a concentration gradient to increase potassium reabsorption. Od. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct. Increased sodium reabsorption increases water reabsorption, which then establishes a concentration gradient to increase potassium reabsorption. O e. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct by increasing expression of EnaCs, sodium/potassium exchangers, and…When travelling high altitude, one of the problem is alkalosis of the blood. Remember the equation for acid balance: CO2 + H2O ⇌ H2CO3 ⇌ HCO3− + H+ If there is a low amount of CO2 outside, then greater CO2 than normal will diffuse out of the lungs. This will cause the blood to become more basic. To counteract the problem, a drug may be taken to both lower the blood pressure and help correct the pH. To do this, it blocks a symporter of HCO3- and Na+ in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Q: How would blocking transport of HCO3- help to lower the pH of the blood?
- A person is found unconscious. He is wearing aMedic-Alert bracelet for diabetes and his breathhas the typical odor of acetone (ketoacids).a. Predict his serum pH and the rationale for thisprediction.b. Predict his serum potassium level.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-The major source of metabolic acid in the body is carbon dioxide owing to its ability to be enzymaticallyconverted to which one of the following?A. Hydrochloric acidB. Sulfuric acidC. Acetoacetic acidD. Carbonic acidE. Butyric acid
- Metabolic alkalosis refers to a process whereupon decreased hydrogen ion, or increased bicarbonate, concentrations occur in the body, and the blood pH becomes too basic. Answer the following questions: How does the body regain its acid-base equilibria/balance? What happens when that balance does not happen? Will a buffer system still work under these conditions?During the treatment for COVID-19, one complication includes an increase of CO2 in the lungs. This buildup of CO2 can result in a serious condition called respiratory acidosis if the level of H+ significantly changes. If the pH drops by 1 unit, what has happened to the H+ concentration?A patient has been vomiting for the last 3 days and has an abnormally low respiratory rate. a. Why do you think they have a low respiratory rate? b. What do you think has happened to the ECF volume and osmolarity over the last 3 days? c. Will this lead to any changes in the volume of water in their cells?
