Step 1
Step 1: Understand respiratory alkalosis Respiratory alkalosis occurs when there is excessive loss of CO2 due to increased ventilation, leading to a rise in blood pH. Show more…

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
Which of the following statements are true of respiratory acidosis and alkalosis? (Read carefully and select all of the correct statements.) A. A severe case of pneumonia may cause respiratory alkalosis. B. Hyperventilation increases the amount of CO2 exhaled and lowers the pH of body fluids. C. Holding your breath will decrease the pH of body fluids. D. To compensate for metabolic alkalosis, respiration will increase in rate and depth. E. To compensate for metabolic acidosis, the respiratory rate will increase. F. Chronic emphysema may result in respiratory acidosis.
