The patient whose blood that is most alkalotic would be the one with a pH of:

7.4

6.9

7.8

7.6

The normal pH range for blood is:

7.0 - 7.25

7.30 - 7.40

7.35 - 7.45

7.45 - 7.55

The respiratory system compensates for changes in the pH level by responding to changes in the levels of:

CO2

H2O

H2CO3

HCO3

Which of the following may be a reason to order an ABG on a patient?

The patient suddenly develops shortness of breath

An asthmatic is starting to show signs of tiring

A diabetic has developed Kussmaul respirations

All of the above

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

pH 7.38 pCO2 38 HCO3 24

Respiratory alkalosis

Normal

Metabolic alkalosis

None of the above

Lab values: 7.25, paCO2 55, HCO3 45

Respiratory acidosis

Respiratory alkalosis

Metabolic acidosis

metabolic alkalosis

What is the condition when you compensate by hyperventilating?

Respiratory Acidosis

Metabolic Acidosis

Respiratory Alkalosis

Metabolic Alkalosis

What is the body's compensation when having Respiratory Acidosis?

The kidney's excretes HCO3-

Your lungs will hyperventilate

The kidney's will reabsorb HCO3-

Your lungs will hypoventilate

10.

Your body is compensating by excreting HCO3- out from the body. What is the condition that induced this compensation?

Respiratory Alkalosis

Respiratory Acidosis

Metabolic Alkalosis

Metabolic Acidosis

11.

pH= 7.55; pCO2= 55; HCO3= 55

15.

When an acid-base imbalance is caused by a metabolic disturbance, the pH and the HCO3 will move:

In opposite directions

Totally independent of each other

In the same direction
