Answer to Question 1

Saved me massive time.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Arterial blood gases (ABGs) show a pH greater than 7.45 and bicarbonate level greater than 26 mEq/L when the patient is in metabolic alkalosis. Respiratory and metabolic acidosis are both consistent with pH less than 7.35. Respiratory alkalosis is associated with a pH greater than 7.45 and a PaCO2 of less than 35 mmHG. It is caused by respiratory related conditions.
