Chapter 27, Problem 29RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of severe diarrhea on the blood pH, urine pH and pattern of ventilation in Milly.
Introduction:
Diarrhea is an intestinal discomfort that shows abnormally frequent bowel movement and excretion of highly diluted fecal matter. Diarrhea can be infection which is caused by ingestion of diarrheal pathogen or non infectious.

Mr. Jones has COPD, an obstructive respiratory disorder. An arterial blood gas (ABG) sample was taken and she had an elevated arterial PCO2. Answer the following questions:
What happens to H+ concentrations?
What happens to pH?
What type of acid-base imbalance is created? (Hint: Select one of these choices: metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, respiratory acidosis, or respiratory alkalosis)
What type of compensation occurs?
What does the body do during this type of compensation?
Andreas is a miner, working in very hot underground conditions. Each day before his shift, he is required to provide a fresh urine sample to have the specific gravity tested. Explain why this may be a useful health and safety precaution.
Delia feels a searing pain whenever she has to urinate. To make things worse, she feels like she has to “go” every 10 minutes, and her urine is cloudy and smells foul. What condition is Delia most likely to have?
A student got so excited about her acceptance into dental school that she began hyperventilating and then passed out. How might passing out, for a short time, be advantageous? What is her primary acid-base disorder?

The triathlon consisted of a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride and a 10 km run. He was so focused on winning the race. With 6 km left in the run, he felt very weak and light-headed and eventuallly collapsed. He was breathing so fast and was profusely sweating. The Emergency Medical Service on standby rushed to give him medical aid. a.) Discuss the role of electrolytes in this case. b.) What imbalances (Hypernatremia vs. Hyponatremia; Hyperkalemia vs. Hypokalemia) led to his condition? Justify.arrow_forward

- During a severe bout of pneumonia, Eduardo had difficulties breathing. His PaCO2 was elevated and he became acidotic. Describe how CO2 travels from the tissues to the lungs to be expelled from the body. In doing so, describe the various forms that CO2 takes along the way. Finally, describe how CO2 levels affect blood pH.arrow_forwardRespiratory alkalosis occurs when the lungs too efficiently get rid of the carbon dioxide present in the blood, for example at __________ and can be compensated for by the body producing urine with __________ pH. a) Hyperventialtion, lower b) Hyperventialtion, higher c) Hypoventialtion, higher d) Hypoventialtion, lowerarrow_forwardKirsten, a 3-month-old infant, has begun to have frequent loose stools that progress to a watery diarrhea. She is unresponsive, with dry mucous membranes, sunken fontanels, and little, if any, urine output. Respirations are rapid and the heart rate is elevated. Questions 1. What acid-base imbalance is Kirsten experiencing, and how is this affecting her ability to compensate? 2. What is the cause of oliguria, and how does this complicate the situation? 3. How will hydration affect Kirsten's ability to compensate for the acid-base imbalance?arrow_forward
