Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Diabetes mellitus will primarily cause a metabolic acidosis that will lead to the body compensat-ing by hyperventilating, resulting in a respiratory alkalosis. Neuromuscular disorders, overdosing with sedatives, and restrictive pulmonary diseases can cause respiratory acidosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The values for all three results are within normal limits.
