Concept explainers
(1)
To state: The category of imbalance that results from increased respiratory rate.
Concept introduction: Acid-base balance is the homeostatic maintenance of the extracellular fluid’s pH. The maintenance of optimum pH is essential for normal physiological functioning of the body. If there is any disturbance is the acid-base balance, it would lead to acidosis and alkalosis. Acidosis occurs when the concentration of hydrogen ions increases or serum pH decreases. Alkalosis occurs when the concentration of hydrogen ions decreases or serum pH increases.
(2)
To state: The category of imbalance that results from renal failure.
Concept introduction: Acid-base balance is the homeostatic maintenance of the extracellular fluid’s pH. The maintenance of optimum pH is essential for normal physiological functioning of the body. If there is any disturbance is the acid-base balance, it would lead to acidosis and alkalosis. Acidosis occurs when the concentration of hydrogen ions increases or serum pH decreases. Alkalosis occurs when the concentration of hydrogen ions decreases or serum pH increases.
(3)
To state: The category of imbalance that results from excessive intake of bicarbonate and state the resulting change in 20:1 ratio.
Concept introduction: Acid-base balance is the homeostatic maintenance of the extracellular fluid’s pH. The maintenance of optimum pH is essential for normal physiological functioning of the body.
