Step 1
This can be caused by conditions such as lung diseases, respiratory muscle weakness, or even drug overdose. Respiratory alkalosis, on the other hand, is caused by hyperventilation, which means that the person is breathing too rapidly and exhaling too much carbon Show more…

Classify each condition, cause, and symptom to the appropriate blood pH range. pH 7.34 and below pH 7.35–7.45 pH 7.46 and above Answer Bank: Acidosis Cause: Excessive vomiting Cause: Buffers resist pH changes Symptom: Disorientation Physiological pH range Symptom: Apathy Alkalosis Cause: Respiratory center depression caused by drugs Symptom: Buffering system maintains acid-base balance

Metabolic Acidosis Metabolic Alkalosis Respiratory Acidosis Respiratory Alkalosis 1. decreased blood level of CO2 as a result of hyperventilation 2. decreased respiratory rate in a patient taking an overdose of morphine 3. excessive intake of antacids 4. prolonged vomiting of stomach contents which are high in HCl content 5. ketosis in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus 6. decreased respiratory minute volume in a patient with emphysema or fractured rib 7. excessive loss of bicarbonate from the body as in prolonged diarrhea

For each of the following sets of blood values, name the acid-base imbalance (acidosis or alkalosis), determine its cause (metabolic or respiratory), decide whether the condition is being compensated, and cite at least one possible cause of the imbalance. Problem $I: \mathrm{pH} 7.63 ; \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{CO}_{2}}, 19 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}: \mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-} 19.5 \mathrm{mEq} / \mathrm{L}$ Problem $2: \mathrm{pH} 7.22 ; \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{CO}_{3}} 30 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg} ; \mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-} 12.0 \mathrm{mEq} / \mathrm{L}$
