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 CO 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

Answer:

1) Which set of values would you expect to see in patient with metabolic acidosis?

a) increased pH and increased or normal CO2

b) increased pH and decreased or normal CO2

c) decreased pH and increased or normal CO2

d) decreased pH and decreased or normal CO2 - Correct Answer (in metabolic acidosis, pH is less than the normal range and CO2, HCO3 are also below normal)

2) Which set of values would you expect to see in a patient with metabolic alkalosis?

a) increased pH and increased or normal CO2 - Correct Answer (In metabolic alkalosis, both pH and CO2 and HCO3- levels are above the normal range)

b) increased pH and decreased or normal CO2

c) decreased pH and increased or normal CO2

d) decreased pH and decreased or normal CO2
