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 reveals pH 7.6, PO2 120 mm Hg, PCO2 31 mm Hg, and HCO3 25 mmol/L. What does this mean?
#2. 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 7.57, PCO2 22, HCO3- 17
#3. The ABG results are pH 7.35, PCO2 72 mmHg, and HCO3 38 mEq/L. What acid-base disorder is shown?
#4. An elderly client was admitted to hospital in a coma. Analysis of the arterial blood gave the following values: PCO2 16 mm Hg, HCO3 5 mmol/L and pH 7.1. As a lab professional, you know that the normal value for HCO3 is:
#5. The patient loses consciousness and the STAT ABGs reveal pH 7.61, PCO2 22 mmHg, and HCO3 25 mEq/L. What is the ABG interpretation based on the findings?
#6. The results from the ABGs show pH 7.57, PCO2 37 mmHg and HCO3 30 mEq/L. What is your assessment?
#7. Measurement of arterial blood gas shows pH 7.3, PCO2 68 mm Hg, HCO3 28 mmol/L, and PO2 60 mm Hg. How would you interpret this?
#8. The human body functions optimally in a state of homeostasis
#9. The results from the ABG results show pH 7.39, PCO2 27 mmHg, and HCO3 19 mEq/L. What does this mean?
#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 7.39, PCO2 44, HCO3- 26
