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 7.5, PO2 85 mm Hg, PCO2 40 mm Hg, and HCO3 34 mmol/L. What acid-base disorder is shown?
#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 7.5, PCO2 19, HCO3- 22
#4. A company driver is found at the scene of an automobile accident in a state of emotional distress. He tells the paramedics that he feels dizzy, tingling in his fingertips, and does not remember what happened to his car. Respiratory rate is rapid at 34/minute. Which primary acid-base disturbance is the young man at risk for if medical attention is not provided?
#5. 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: High plasma PCO2
#6. 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
#7. The results from the ABGs show pH 7.57, PCO2 37 mmHg and HCO3 30 mEq/L. What is your assessment?
#8. 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 7.64, PCO2 25, HCO3- 19
#9. 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 7.45, PCO2 50, HCO3- 30
#10. Measurement of arterial blood gas shows pH 7.0, PaO2 90 mm Hg, PaCO2 23 mm Hg, and HCO3 12 mmol/L; other results are Na+ 126 mmol/L, K+ 5 mmol/L, and Cl- 95 mmol/L. What is your assessment?
