- 3. Multiple ChoiceThe respiratory system compensates for changes in the pH level by responding to changes in the levels of:CO2H2OH2CO3HCO3
- 4. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following may be a reason to order an ABG on a patient?The patient suddenly develops shortness of breathAn asthmatic is starting to show signs of tiringA diabetic has developed Kussmaul respirationsAll of the above

- 9. Multiple Choice
What is the body's compensation when having Respiratory Acidosis?
The kidney's excretes HCO3-
Your lungs will hyperventilate
The kidney's will reabsorb HCO3-
Your lungs will hypoventilate
