Answer to Question 1

A
The acid-base system is regulated by chemical buffering, respiratory control of carbon dioxide, and renal regulation of bicarbonate and secretion of hydrogen ions. Both the kidneys and the lungs, along with the buffering system, contribute to acid-base balance. Neither system regulates acid or base balances exclusively. The cardiovascular and integumentary systems are not part of acid-base regulation in the body. Chemical buffers, the lungs, and the kidneys work together to keep the blood pH within a normal range.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, E
Developmentally appropriate pain assessment tools for a 12-year-old child include the Numeric Rating Scale, the Visual Analog Scale, and the Adolescent and Pediatric Pain Tool. The CRIES pain scale is recommended for neonates to 6 months and the FLACC is recommended for children who are preverbal.
