Questions and Answers

Which equation is used in traditional acid-base analysis to evaluate blood pH?

  • $pH = \frac{base\ excess},{TCO2}$
  • $f(x) = -4(x + 3)^2 + 2$
  • $pH = \frac{PCO2},{bicarbonate}$ (correct)
  • $pH = \frac{bicarbonate},{PCO2}$

    • What does PCO2 represent in acid-base balance?

  • An acid (correct)
  • A measure of hydrogen ion concentration
  • A base
  • The metabolic contribution to acid-base balance

    • Which of the following is a representation of the metabolic contribution to acid-base balance?

  • TCO2 (correct)
  • Blood pH
  • Anion gap
  • Base excess
