Fun Quiz: Acid Base Balance

#1. The major effect of acidosis is overexcitement of the central nervous system.

Maybe

False

Both Acidosis and Alkalosis result in overexcitement of the central nervous system

True

Metabolic Acidosis

Metabolic Alkalosis

Respiratory Acidosis

#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 7.39, PCO2 59, HCO3- 35

#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.
