Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Metabolic alkalosis may be caused by loss of acid or excess bicarbonate in the body. Vomiting is one way for the body to lose acid. A patient receiving dialysis has kidney failure, which causes metabolic acidosis. A venous stasis ulcer does not result in an acidbase disorder. The patient diagnosed with COPD typically has hypercapnea and respiratory acidosis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Treatment of hypophosphatemia includes treating the underlying cause and promoting a high phosphate diet. Phosphate-binding antacids, such as aluminum hydroxide, should be avoided. Mild hypophosphatemia may be corrected by oral supplements, such as sodium phosphate.
