Answer to Question 1

Feedback
1. The pH is on the low end, creating a more acidotic state along with the CO2 in an acidotic state, thus indicating the respiratory acidosis. The HCO3 is alkalotic, creating compensation.
2. The pH and the CO2 are acidotic and the HCO3 is alkalotic, creating compensation.
3. The pH and CO2 are in acidotic states, not alkalotic states.
4. Compensation has occurred because of the HCO3 being alkalotic.

Answer to Question 2

B
Adolescents need to learn how to develop relationships with the opposite sex. Cultural background can influence dating patterns. The primary goal of social outings at this age is to meet members of the opposite sex. Teens may turn to sexually acting out to test control if stringent restrictions are enforced.
