Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, D, E

Metabolic acidosis is rarely a primary disorder. It usually develops during the course of another disease; presence of abdominal fistulas; which can cause excess bicarbonate loss; acute renal failure; and hypovolemic shock. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia place the client at risk for respiratory acidosis with the increased retention of carbon dioxide in the blood.

Answer to Question 2
