Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, D, E

Metabolic acidosis is rarely a primary disorder. It usually develops during the course of another disease; presence of abdominal fistulas; which can cause excess bicarbonate loss; acute renal failure; and hypovolemic shock. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia place the client at risk for respiratory acidosis with the increased retention of carbon dioxide in the blood.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C

DNA molecules form the basic genetic material called genes and contain the information about inherited characteristics. RNA is the messenger that carries DNA to the ribosomes. RNA does not determine the color of the eyes, but is responsible for protein synthesis. Both RNA and DNA are contained within the nucleus of each cell.
B) DNA molecules form the basic genetic material called genes and contain the
