Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Respiratory acidosis: increase in carbonic acid, H2CO3; emphysema; compensatory mechanism is formation of additional bicarbonates by the kidneys
Respiratory alkalosis: decrease in carbonic acid, H2CO3; hyperventilation; compensatory mechanism is kidneys excrete more bicarbonate
Metabolic acidosis: decrease in bicarbonate, HCO3; uremia, ketosis, lactic acidosis; compensatory mechanism is hyperventilation to lower PCO2, kidneys excrete more H ions and forms more bicarbonate
Metabolic alkalosis: increase in bicarbonate, HCO3; use of antacids, chloride depletion, excess adrenal corticosteroids; compensatory mechanism: none
