Exam 13: Fluid and Acid Base Balance

Indicate which type of acid-base imbalance might occur in each of the following situations by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all): -severe diarrhea

Which statement concerning the kidneys' response to increased [H⁺] in the body fluids is INCORRECT?

When [H⁺] decreases,the kidneys excrete less HCO₃- into the urine.

As H⁺ increases,K⁺ secretion also increases because of the intimate relationship between H⁺ secretion and K⁺ secretion by the kidneys.

Indicate the [CO₂] and [HCO₃-] levels in each of the following situations by using the answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all): -compensated respiratory l acidosis

Which statement isNOT true for metabolic water?

The percentage of body water varies from person to person.

Which tissues in the body contain the lowest percentage of water?

Chemical buffer systems are the most powerful mechanism available for defending against changes in [H⁺] because they respond the fastest.

What will happen when isotonic fluid is added to the ECF?

Which [HCO₃-]/[CO₂] ratios might exist in this condition?

Bicarbonate ions can combine with free H⁺,removing a source of acidity and opposing acidosis.

Insensible water loss includes water lost from the lungs during expiration and water lost from the skin during sweating.

____________________ is the acid found in the stomach.

Which statement is NOT true for a patient with lung congestion?

What is the pH of a solution with a H⁺ concentration of 0.0000567?

Match the buffer system with the correct characteristic by using the answer code: -primary intracellular buffer

Which statement is NOT true concerning extracellular fluid?

Which symptom(s)is/are associated with acidosis?

On average,____________________% of the body weight consists of H₂O.
