Correction of acute respiratory acidosis is accomplished by which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acute respiratory acidosis occurs due to hypoventilation, resulting in an increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and a decrease in pH. The best way to correct it is by increasing alveolar ventilation, which causes the elimination of CO2 and a decrease in carbonic acid levels, thereby increasing pH. Other choices, such as increasing or decreasing HCO₃F1F1F1S1^F1F1F10 reabsorption, are not relevant to the correction of respiratory acidosis.
