, A post-operative patient is still unconscious, but is receiving
supplemental oxygen via a mask device. An ABG indicates
that pH = 7.31, PaO2 = 155 mm Hg, PaCO2 = 82 mm Hg, and
HCO3- = 26 mEq/L. Which of the following statements is
FALSE?
- the patient is acidotic
- the HCO3- is normal
- the PaCO2 is elevated
- ventilation is sufficient given that PaO2 = 155 mm Hg -
<<<Answers>>>>ventilation is sufficient given that PaO2 =
155 mm Hg
the respiratory center that controls inspiration is the
- supine respiratory group (SRG)
- lateral respiratory group (LRG)
- dorsal respiratory group (DRG)
- ventral respiratory group (VRG)
- zone respiratory group (ZRG) - <<<Answers>>>>dorsal
respiratory group (DRG)
A lung compliance test indicates that a 3 cm H2O change in
trans-pulmonary pressure generates a 0.9 liter change in lung
volume. What is this patient's lung compliance?
