Respiratory alkalosis ✔✔B. Metabolic acidosis
High anion gap metabolic acidosis is caused generally by the body producing too much acid or
not producing enough bicarbonate. This is often due to an increase in lactic acid or ketoacids, or
it may be a sign of kidney failure. More rarely, high anion gap metabolic acidosis may be caused
by ingesting methanol or overdosing on aspirin.

Feedback Pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae is routinely treated with antibiotics,
although the disease is usually self-limiting. The disease is treated with macrolide, tetracycline,

inherently resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g., penicillin).
