Question 1 of 5
Which arterial blood gas (ABG) data corresponds with a patient's clinical manifestations of respiratory alkalosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Respiratory alkalosis is characterized by a high pH (>7.45) and a low PaCO2 (<35 mm Hg). The data in option D (pH = 7.52, PaCO2 = 24 mm Hg) indicates respiratory alkalosis.
Question 2 of 5
