Answer:1
Rationale:If the pH is decreased and the pCO2 is increased with a normal HCO3, it is uncompensated respiratory acidosis. Also,croup can be a disease process that causes respiratory acidosis.Uncompensa ted respiratory alkalosis has an increased pH,decreased pCO2 and normal HCO3;uncompensated metabolic acidosis has a decreased pH,normal pCO2 and normal HCO3;and uncompensated metabolic alkalosis has an increased pH,normal pCO2,and increased HCO3.
