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.

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.
