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
A falling blood pH and rising partial pressure of carbon dioxide, occurring due to pneumonia or emphysema, indicates: A. respiratory acidosis B. respiratory alkalosis C. metabolic acidosis D. metabolic alkalosis
