Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Renal failure will cause a buildup of acids in the blood, which results in a metabolic acidosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The pH of 7.36 is a compensated acidosis; any value greater than 7.35 is indicative of acidosis. A PaCO2 of 22 mm Hg is indicative of a respiratory alkalosis and a HCO3 of 12 mEq/L represents a metabolic acidosis. Therefore, the interpretation is a compensated metabolic acidosis.
