Interpretation:
The given condition should be classified whether as a cause of respiratory or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis using the table 29.4.
Concept introduction:
The highly specific acid-base quality of various body fluid remains regulated within narrow limits because of high sensitivity of
Alkalosis is a term which refers to an increase in pH above the normal average of
Acidosis is a term which refers to an increase in

- a 86 years old women brought to emergency room with these readings :PH = 7.22 (normal :7.35-7.45) , PaCO2 = 9.6 mmHg ( normal: 35-45) ,HCO3- = 3.9 mmol/l ( normal : 22-26) .. she complains from : A) Metabolic acidosis. B)Respiratory acidosis. C)Metabolic alkalosis. D)Respiratory alkalosis.arrow_forwardFor each of the following, state whether it might result in dehydration, hypotonic hydration, or edema (discussed in Chapter 18): (a) decreased synthesis of plasma proteins due to liver failure; (b) copious sweating; (c) using ecstasy (MDMA), which promotes ADH secretion.arrow_forwardDefine the following conditions: metabolic acidosis, respiratory acidosisarrow_forward
- 70. A 68-year-oldman with chronic respiratoryacidosis has an arterial pHof 7.34 and an arterial PCO2 of 55 mm Hg. Which of the following best explains the compensatory response to the acidosis? A) Decreased HCI secretion by the stomach B) Decreased tubular secretion of HCO," by the kidneys C) Increased CO2 excretion by the lungs O D) Increased HCO3" reabsorption by the kidneys E) IncreasedHCO,"transport by the choroid plexusarrow_forwardA student got so excited about her acceptance into dental school that she began hyperventilating and then passed out. How might passing out, for a short time, be advantageous? What is her primary acid-base disorder?arrow_forward1) Identify the lab value of Yusef's bicarbonate ion level in mEq/Liters. Only type in numbers, no letters (type out your number to zero places after the decimal point. i.e  8 or 18) pH = 7.68 PaCO2 = 21 mmHg  2) His condition is : 3 answers required: respiratory or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis uncompensated or partial compensation Group of answer choices respiratory metabolic acidosis alkalosis uncompensated partial compensationarrow_forward
- What do the following arterial blood values indicate? pH = 7.59    PCO2 = 45 mm Hg          HCO3- = 35 mEq/L  Question 47 options:  Respiratory acidosis without compensation        Metabolic alkalosis without compensation        Respiratory alkalosis without compensation  Respiratory acidosis with partial compensation       Mixed disturbancearrow_forwardHenry is in the intensive care unit because he suffered a severe myocardial infarction three days ago. The lab reports the followingvalues from an arterial blood sample: pH 7.30, HCO320 mEq/ liter, PCO2  32 mmHg. Diagnose Henry’s acid–base status and decide whether compensation is occurring.arrow_forwardA patient exhibits the following blood characteristics. pH = 7.49 P co2 = 50 HCO3- = 29 mEq/L What is the likely condition? respiratory acidosis respiratory alkalosis metabolic acidosis metabolic alkalosisarrow_forward
- Metabolic acidosis is often treated by administering hydrogen carbonate intravenously. Explain how this treatment can increase blood plasma pH.arrow_forwardExplain two reasons why acidosis develops in shock.arrow_forwardConsider the equilibrium shown below; indicating the buffering system in the blood circulation. CO, + H,0 [H,CO3] HCO3¯+H* When a patient is choking, would this lead to an alkalosis or an acidosis situation? Explain.arrow_forward
