Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
For example, if the pH was lower than 7.35 (denoting an acidosis) and the PaCO2 was higher than 45 mm Hg, according to the H-H equation, the high PaCO2 would indeed lower the pH (i.e., produce an acidosis). Therefore, the respiratory system is at least in part, if not entirely, re-sponsible for the acidosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Alkalemia is defined as a blood pH greater than 7.45. Acidemia is defined as a blood pH less than 7.35.
