Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

One cause of acidosis is a strict low-calorie diet or one that is low in carbohydrate content.Such a diet increases the rate of fat catabolism and results in the formation of excessive ketoacids.Dehydration is not directly associated with acid-base disorders.In the client with asthma,acid-base status will be determined by a combination of depth of respirations and oxygen saturation.Excessive intake of sodium bicarbonate may increase the risk of metabolic alkalosis.
