Key choices: A. Metabolic acidosis B. Metabolic alkalosis C. Normal range D. Respiratory acidosis E. Respiratory alkalosis Statements: 1. Indicated by plasma HCO3 levels above the normal range. 2. Pco2 = 35-45 mm Hg; pH 7.35-7.45. 3. Indicated by plasma Pco2 levels above the normal range. 4. A common cause is excess HCO3 loss resulting from prolonged diarrhea. 5. Imbalance where HCO3 levels are high; compensated by slow, shallow breathing (therefore high Pco2)
