Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

In metabolic acidosis, the amount of bicarbonate decreases in relation to the amount of acid in the body. In metabolic alkalosis, there is an excess of bicarbonate in relation to the amount of hydrogen ions. Respiratory acidosis occurs when carbon dioxide is retained, increasing the amount of carbonic acid in the body. Respiratory alkalosis can occur when too much carbon dioxide is lost and carbonic acid levels fall.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Erythropoietin is a hormone produced in the body to stimulate production of red blood cells; synthetic forms are available for administration to cancer clients or others with significantly low red blood cell counts. Erythropoietin will not stimulate or decrease the production of platelets, white blood cells, or lymph fluid.
