- pH is the acidity of a solution.

2) What is the normal pH in the blood?

- The normal pH in the blood is 7.35 to 7.45

3) What is PaCO2?

- PaCO2 is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood.

4) What is the normal value of PaCO2?

- The normal value of PaCO2 is 35 to 45.

5) What is HCO3?

- HCO3 is the concentration of bicarbonate in arterial blood.

6) What is the normal value of HCO3?

- The normal value of HCO3 is 22 to 26

7) A pH level over 7.45 is?

- A pH level over 7.45 is a base.

8) A pH level less than 7.35 is?

- A pH level less than 7.35 is an acid.

9) HCO3 over 26 is?

- HCO3 over 26 is basic.

10) HCO3 less than 22 is?

Chapter 2

1) What is PaCO2?

- PaCO2 is the respiratory level.

2) A PaCO2 greater than 45 is?

- A PaCO2 greater than 45 is an acid.

3) A PaCO2 less than 35 is?

- A PaCO2 less than 35 is a base.

4) What is respiratory acidosis?

- Respiratory acidosis is when the level of acid in the blood is high.

5) What is the absolute normal of blood pH?

- The absolute normal of blood pH is 7.40

6) What is a full compensation?

- A full compensation is when the pH is normal.

7) A patient's pH is 7.25, the PaCO2 is 55 and the HCO3 is 27. Is this a respiratory issue or a metabolic issue? Is it alkalotic or acidotic? Is the patient compensating, fully compensated or uncompensated?
