Question 1 of 5
Which of the following signs is most commonly associated with respiratory alkalosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Rapid, shallow breathing and feelings of panic. In respiratory alkalosis, the body eliminates too much carbon dioxide through rapid breathing, leading to a decrease in carbon dioxide levels. This results in symptoms like rapid, shallow breathing and feelings of panic due to changes in the blood pH. Muscle weakness and confusion (
A) are more commonly associated with hypercalcemia. Decreased deep tendon reflexes and hypotension (
B) are seen in hypokalemia. Bradycardia and decreased respiratory rate (
C) are indicative of respiratory acidosis.
Therefore, the most common signs of respiratory alkalosis are rapid, shallow breathing and feelings of panic.
