Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The respiratory system will either retain carbon dioxide when there is a metabolic alkalosis or ex-crete carbon dioxide when there is a metabolic acidosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Hyperventilation will decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood, causing a respiratory alkalosis. Vomiting can cause a metabolic alkalosis, salicylate overdose can cause a metabolic ac-idosis, and a pneumothorax can cause a respiratory acidosis.
