Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In cases of severe metabolic acidosis, intravenous infusion of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) may be indicated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Hyperventilation is the main compensatory mechanism for metabolic acidosis. The increased plasma H+ of metabolic acidosis is buffered by plasma HCO3, reducing the plasma HCO3, and thus the pH. Uncompensated metabolic acidosis suggests that a ventilatory defect must ex-ist.
