If a physiologic condition resulted in blood pH reaching 7.2, but then physiological buffering systems brought the pH to 7.4, that increase in pH would be called Multiple Choice alkalosis. acidosis. imbalance. compensation. partial noncompensation.

Step 1
The initial blood pH is 7.2, which is lower than the normal blood pH range of 7.35 to 7.45. This indicates a condition called acidosis, where the blood is more acidic than normal. Show more…

3. A person with a pH of 7.34 and arterial blood gas (ABG) values of PCO2 of 30 mmHg and a [HCO3-] of 14 mEq/L would be said to have Select one: a. Respiratory acidosis, with partial renal compensation b. Respiratory alkalosis, with partial renal compensation c. Metabolic acidosis, with partial respiratory compensation d. Metabolic alkalosis, with partial respiratory compensation

Blood typically has a pH of around 7.4. Consider a person whose blood has a higher than normal level of H+. The release of bicarbonate ions (HCO ) as a buffer would cause the pH of their blood to change from Multiple Choice acidic to neutral. neutral to slightly acidic. acidic to slightly alkaline. alkaline to neutral.

Using the Pco2/HCO3-/pH nomogram, what is confirmed when the reported PCO2 is 60 torr, the pH is 7.50, and the HCO3- is 46 mEq/L? Respiratory alkalosis with respiratory compensation Metabolic acidosis with renal compensation Metabolic alkalosis with respiratory compensation Respiratory acidosis with renal compensation
