Q. Which of the following is true?
a
If both metabolic and respiratory acidosis are in play, pH is reduced more so than if just one disorder was influencing pH
b
When alkalosis results from both metabolic and respiratory origins, pH is elevated more so than if only one disorder was present.
c
A Davenport diagram can tell us if there are one or two sources of the pH disturbance, but it cannot tell us which preceded the other.
d
A Davenport diagram can tell us if a patient is experiencing metabolic alkalosis
e
A Davenport diagram cannot tell us if there is a compound acid-base disturbance
