This activity is designed to help you review the conditions of acidosis and alkalosis, their symptoms and the ways in which the body tries to compensate for changes in atlu When full-compensation has occurred, pH has been returned to normal, even if other values are out of line. When compensation is partial, there is evidence of compensation, but pH still is out of normal-limits. T Four patients are in the Emergency Room, each for a different reason. All 4 patients are in acid-base- imbalance OR are just recovering from acid-base imbalance. -Follow the directions below to assess each- patient's condition.T PatientT Arterial pHE PCO2 (mm Hg)H HCO, (mEg/liter) E NormalT 7.35-7.45 35-45T 22-26 Patient AT 7.29 52 30 Patient BT 7.44T 53 35 Patient CH 7.31T 32 19 Patient DT 7.50 28 23
