Respiratory Alkalosis
31
A patient with pH < 7.35 and HCO3 < 21 has:
Metabolic Acidosis
32
A patient with pH > 7.45 and HCO3 > 28 has:
Metabolic Alkalosis
33
A patient with pH < 7.35 and CO2 > 45 has:
Respiratory Acidosis
34
A patient with pH > 7.45 and CO2 < 35 has:
Respiratory Alkalosis
35
A higher pH = more (acidic/alkalotic)
Acidic
36
A lower pH = more (acidic/alkalotic)
Alkalotic
37
CO2 is controlled by ____.
Lungs
38
HCO3 (bicarbonate) is controlled by _____.
kidneys
39
PaCO2 over 45 is (acidic / alkalotic)
Acidic
40
PaCO2 under 35 is (acidic / alkalotic)
Alkalotic
41
HCO3 over 28 is (acidic / alkalotic)
Alkalootic
42
HCO3 under 21 is (acidic / alkalotic)
Acidic
43
Is carbon dioxide an acid?
No, but the presence of carbon dioxide is directly proportional to the number of hydrogen ions being produced and hydrogen ions = acid!
44
Hypoventilation results in respiratory (acidosis / alkalosis).
Respiratory Acidosis
45
Which acid/base imbalance is associated with hypokalemia?
Metabolic alkalosis (al(K)(low)sis)
46
Kussmaul respirations are associated with which acid/base imbalance?
Metabolic acidosis
