Acid-Base Balance Worksheet Exam
Questions With Correct Answers.
Blood pH normal range: - answer✔✔7.35-7.45
PaCO2 (Carbon Dioxide) normal range: - answer✔✔35-45
HCO3 (bicarbonate) normal range: - answer✔✔22-26
PaO2 (oxygen) normal range: - answer✔✔80-100
pH <7.35 is considered: - answer✔✔Acidotic
pH >7.45 - answer✔✔Alkalotic
Acidity or alkalinity of a solution is determined by its' concentration of: - answer✔✔Hydrogen
Ions
What do the lungs help regulate? - answer✔✔Acid-base balance by eliminating or retaining CO2
What do the kidneys help regulate? - answer✔✔Acid-base balance by excreting or retaining
hydrogen ions & forming or excreting Na+ bicarbonate ions.
What happens to respiratory rate/depth in metabolic acidosis? - answer✔✔Both increases. This
causes CO2 to be excreted because the respiratory center is stimulated.
What happens to respiratory rate/depth in metabolic alkalosis? - answer✔✔Both decreases. This
causes CO2 to be retained because the respiratory center is depressed.
In acidosis, where does the potassium go? - answer✔✔Outside the cell, causes hyperkalemia.
In alkalosis, where does the potassium go? - answer✔✔Inside the cell, causes hypokalemia.
What does ROME stand for? - answer✔✔Respiratory, opposite, metabolic, equal.
What is the respiratory indicator when analyzing ABGs? - answer✔✔PaCO2
What is the metabolic indicator when analyzing ABGs? - answer✔✔HCO3
What is the most common cause of respiratory alkalosis? - answer✔✔Hyperventilation
