Acid-Base Balance

  1. 1. A patient has been vomiting for days. He lost a lot of gastric juice. The doctor ordered an ABG. The results are likely to show

    2. Respiratory acidosis
    Metabolic acidosis
    Respiratory alkalosis
    Metabolic alkalosis

  2. pH = 7.50 HCO3- = 50 pCO2 = 40. The patient is in

    3. Respiratory acidosis
    Metabolic acidosis
    Respiratory alkalosis
    Metabolic alkalosis

  3. A patient in respiratory acidosis may have the following ABG result

    4. paO2 = 80
    pCO2 = 10
    pCO2 = 52
    HCO3- = 10

  4. A patient in respiratory alakalosis may have the following ABG result

    5. paO2 = 80
    pCO2 = 10
    pCO2 = 52
    HCO3- = 10

  5. The following is most likely the result for a patient in compensated respiratory alkalosis

    6. pH = 7.30 pCO2 = 40 HCO3- = 23
    pH = 7.30 pCO2 = 60 HCO3- = 37
    pH = 7.50 pCO2 = 20 HCO3- = 12
    pH = 7.50 pCO2 = 20 HCO3- = 24

  6. The following arterial blood pH is acidotic

    7. pH = 7.35
    pH = 7.45
    pH = 7.29
    pH = 7. 49

  7. The following arterial blood pH is normal

    8. pH = 7.35
    pH = 7.55
    pH = 7.30
    pH = 7.20

  8. A patient with diarrhea loses a lot of bicarbonate. The blood pH is expected to be

    9. Low
    High
    Normal
    None of the above

  9. A patient with emesis loses a lot of acid. The blood pH is expected to be

    10. Low
    High
    Normal
    None of the above

  10. A patient who is hyperventilating is likely to be in

    11. Respiratory acidosis
    Respiratory alkalosis
    Metabolic acidosis
    Metabolic alkalosis
