A patient presents to the emergency department with an opioid overdose. On your assessment, their respiratory rate is 6 breaths per minute and you note that the most recent labs indicate they are in respiratory acidosis. What compensatory mechanism will occur in the nephron to help correct this imbalance? Group of answer choices Glucose will be reabsorbed from the nephron and back into the blood Carbon dioxide ions will be reabsorbed from the nephron and back into the blood Hydrogen ions will be reabsorbed from the nephron and back into the blood Bicarbonate ions will be reabsorbed from the nephron and back into the blood

Which of the following events would occur after acidosis? (That is, what would the body do to "fix the problem" and restore homeostasis?) Question 3 options: - Chemical buffer systems (bicarbonate, phosphate, protein, etc.) would absorb hydrogen ions. - Increased renal reabsorption of hydrogen ions and increased renal excretion of bicarbonate. - Respiratory rate would decrease. - Increased renal excretion of hydrogen ions and increased renal reabsorption/generation of bicarbonate. - Chemical buffer systems (bicarbonate, phosphate, protein, etc.) would release hydrogen ions. - Respiratory rate would increase.

If a substance is moving across the plasma membrane of a cell by channel-mediated facilitated diffusion, the substance must rely on the conversion of ATP to ADP. The substance could be a potassium ion. The substance could be an amino acid. The substance must be moving against its concentration gradient. This is an acid-base problem. Here are the values to work with: pH 7.5, PCO2 30, HCO3- 19. What type of compensation would occur when these values are present? Select all that apply. The kidneys would secrete HCO3- into the urine. The kidneys would reabsorb H+. The breathing rate would decrease. The kidneys would reabsorb HCO3-. The kidneys would secrete H+ into the urine. The breathing rate would increase.
