Chapter 29.5, Problem 29.5P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given condition should be classified whether as a cause of respiratory or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis using the table 29.4.

Concept introduction:

The highly specific acid-base quality of various body fluid remains regulated within narrow limits because of high sensitivity of metabolism to the $\left[H^{+}\right]$ of the reacting medium.

Alkalosis is a term which refers to an increase in pH above the normal average of $7.4$; this results directly from of a decrease in $\left[H^{+}\right]$ (increase in pH)

Acidosis is a term which refers to an increase in $\left[H^{+}\right]$ (decrease in pH)
