Fun Quiz: Acid Base Balance

Are you ready to take the ASCP, AMT, or AAB Certification Exams for MLS, CLS & MLT?

Tests your knowledge in Acid Base Balance and find out. Do it for fun or take this practice exam to help you prepare.

 

#1. Measurement of arterial blood gas shows pH 7.0, PO2 90 mm Hg, PaCO2 22 mm Hg, and HCO3 14 mmol/L; other results are Na+ 120 mmol/L, K+ 2.5 mmol/L, and Cl- 95 mmol/L. Which do you know is within the normal value for PCO2?

#2. Acids have no hydrogen ions and are able to bind in a solution

#3. Match the acid-base status of the following blood samples to the disorders in the given choices. (PaCO2 values are in mm Hg and bicarbonate values in mmol/l). pH 7.17, PCO2 48, HCO3- 36

#4. In acid-base balance, the normal plasma PCO2 and bicarbonate levels are disturbed. Match the changes in this parameter with the disorders in the given choices: Decreased plasma bicarbonate (HCO3-)

#5. Match the acid-base status of the following blood samples to the disorders in the given choices. (PaCO2 values are in mm Hg and bicarbonate values in mmol/l). pH 7.34, PCO2 24, HCO3- 20

#6. In acid-base balance, the normal plasma PCO2 and bicarbonate levels are disturbed. Match the changes in this parameter with the disorders in the given choices: Low plasma PCO2

#7. Arterial blood gas (ABG) measurement will give the information needed to determine if the primary disturbance of acid-base balance is respiratory or metabolic in nature

#8. A young woman is found comatose, having taken an unknown number of sleeping pills an unknown time before. An arterial blood sample yields the following values: pH 6.90, HCO3- 13 meq/liter, and PCO2 68 mmHg. This patient’s acid-base status is most accurately described as:

#9. The results from the ABGs show pH 7.57, PCO2 37 mmHg and HCO3 30 mEq/L. What is your assessment?

#10. Match the acid-base status of the following blood samples to the disorders in the given choices. (PCO2 values are in mm Hg and bicarbonate values in mmol/l). pH 7.6, PCO2 53, HCO3- 38
