Answer to Question 1

Clinical situations resulting in alkalosis can be categorized as either those conditions involving fluid imbalance (alkalosis with volume decrease) or those without fluid imbalances (alkalosis without volume contraction). Conditions that involve fluid imbalance include prolonged vomiting and/or nasogastric suction or use of diuretics. Conditions leading to alkalosis that do not involve fluid imbalance would include hyperaldosteronism, excessive use of corticosteroids, blood transfusions, chronic use of antacids, and excessive administration of sodium bicarbonate.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
