Question

1. If pH is (be specific) _________ then a condition of acidosis exists; if pH is (be specific) __________ then a condition of alkalosis exists. 

 

2. If acidosis is the problem, which of the following are possible causes? 

 elevated pCO2

depressed pCO2

 elevated HCO3-

 depressed HCO3-

 

2. If alkalosis is the problem, which of the following are possible causes? 

 elevated pCO2

depressed pCO2

 depressed HCO3-

This activity is designed to help you review the conditions of acidosis and alkalosis, their symptoms and the ways in which the body tries to compensate for changes in gt, When full compensation has occurred, pH has been returned to normal, even if other values are out of line. When compensation is partial, there is evidence- of compensation, but pH still is out of normal·limits. I Four patients are in the Emergency Room, each for a different reason. All 4 patients are in acid-base imbalance OR are just recovering from acid-base imbalance. Follow the directions below to assess each patient's condition. T Patient T Arterial pH PCO: (mm-Hg)!
