Question

11. Which set of values would you expect to see in a patient with metabolic acidosis? increased pH and increased or normal CO B. increased pH and decreased or normal CO2 C. decreased pH and increased or normal CO2 D. decreased pH and decreased or normal CO 12. Which set of values would you expect to see in a patient with metabolic alkalosis? increased pH and increased or normal CO B increased pH and decreased or normal CO2 C. decreased pH and increased or normal CO2 D. decreased pH and decreased or normal CO2

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

#11

The metabolic acidosis occurs by imbalance of bile pH which sometime leads to layer cross over in the form of increased CO2 from bicarbonates and this condition not only affects the digestive part but affects entire circulatory system by increased acidosis from CO2 which sometimes leads to death on prolonged exposure to high pH resulting in death of heart muscles.

Hence the answer is Option (A) Increased pH and increased (or) normal CO2

#12

In simiar to the above alkalosis is caused by decreased pH, hence the answer is Option (D)
