Ah, you know what, I’ll just go to college first :).”
Sorry; I was just showing the problem, not asking any questions.
Here are the questions:
“Name the disorder:
Respiratory acidosis (with or without renal compensation)
Respiratory alkalosis (with or without renal compensation)
Metabolic acidosis (with or without respiratory compensation)
Metabolic alkalosis (with or without respiratory compensation)
Suggest a possible cause. For example, a cause of chronic respiratory acidosis is emphysema.”
