The normal pH range for blood is:

• 7.0- 7.25

• 7.35- 7.45

• 7.30- 7.40

• 7.00- 8.00

The kidneys compensate for acid-base imbalances by excreting or retaining:

• hydrogen ions

• carbonic acid

• sodium bicarbonate

• water

You are reviewing the results of an ABG. When the pH and the paCO2 values are moving in opposite directions, the primary problem is:

• Respiratory

• Renal

• Metabolic

• Compensation

What does ROME stand for?

• Respiratory Opposite

• Respiratory Over

• Metabolic Every

• Metabolic Equal

Lab values: 7.25, paCO2 55, HCO3 45

• Respiratory acidosis

• Respiratory alkalosis

• Metabolic acidosis

• metabolic alkalosis
