FPCC ABGs LATEST 2024 FORM A
REAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS (ALL ARE
CORRECT) A GRADE
Metabolic System (BASE) - Answer-Kidneys help maintain a constant bicarbonate
(HCO3) level
Bicarbonate is the body's base
Normal HCO3 level: 22 - 26 mEq/L
Kidneys also eliminate excess acid
Problems occur when there is
Too much acid (other than CO2) accumulated in body
Too much acid (other than CO2) lost from the body
Too much bicarbonate taken into the body
Too much much bicarbonate lost from the body
Metabolic imbalances affect the base bicarbonate concentration
If there is a loss of acid (other than carbonic acid) or gain in bicarbonate in your body -
Answer-there is now more bicarbonate (HCO3 = base) and less metabolic acid in the
body
Base > acid
pH increases and you become alkalotic
METABOLIC AKLAOSIS (pH, HCO3)
If there is an accumulation of acid (other than carbonic acid) in the body or loss of too
much bicarbonate - Answer-there is now less bicarbonate (HCO3 = base) and more
metabolic acid in the body
Acid > base
pH decreases and you become acidotic
METABOLLIC ACIDOSIS (pH, HCO3)
Metabolic Alkalosis - Answer-causes-Acid loss
Diuretics
Antacid intake
When there is an pH imbalance what does it effect?? - Answer-ALL CELLS
What does the body's acid-base balance depend on? - Answer-some delicately
balanced chemical reactions.
pH - Answer-reflects the overall balance of acids & bases in the body
normal pH of the body - Answer-7.35-7.45
acidosis - Answer-pH< 7.35
-Force of cardiac concentration diminishes.
