Question 1

which does not cause a high osmolar gap, increased anion gap metabolic acidosis?
A)methanol
B)ethanol
C)ethylene glycol
D)acetone
E)chloral hydrate

Accepted Answer

The answer of which does not cause a high osmolar...

Question 2

Which agent below does no cause an increased anion gap metabolic acidosis?
A)acetzolamide
B)paraldehyde
C)iron
D)aspirin
E)carbon monoxide inhalation

Accepted Answer

Acetazolamide causes a non-anion gap metabolic acidosis by inhibiting carbonic anhydrase, leading to decreased reabsorption of bicarbonate in the kidneys, rather than an increased anion gap metabolic acidosis.

Question 3

Which condition can be fully compensated for with regards to pH?
A)respiratory acidosis
B)respiratory alkalosis
C)metabolic acidosis
D)metabolic alkalosis
E)none of the above

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which condition can be fully compensated for...

Question 4

Which does not cause a metabolic alkalosis?
A)vomiting
B)diarrohea
C)loop diuretics
D)thiazide diuretics
E)corticosteroids

Accepted Answer

Diarrhea causes a loss of bicarbonate-rich intestinal fluids, leading to metabolic acidosis, not alkalosis. The other options listed can lead to metabolic alkalosis through various mechanisms such as loss of gastric acid, increased renal bicarbonate reabsorption, or increased mineralocorticoid activity.
