Answer from: zay179

The correct answer is:

metabolic alkalosis

Explanation:

acid-base disturbances are changes in the equilibrium concentration of the acid-base concentration in the body, resulting from the excess loss or gain of an acid or base over the other. the effects of excess acids and bases cancel one another in their existing in equilibrium maintaining the pH of blood to between (7.35 - 7.45)

During nasogastric suction, a sterile tube is inserted into the stomach through the nose, and then with the application of negative pressure, the content of the stomach is expelled to the exterior through the tube. Because one of the chief content of the stomach is hydrochloric acid (HCl) the suction, expels HCl from the body, in effect reducing the hydrogen ion (H⁺) concentration, leaving an excess of bicarbonate ions which move intro extracellular spaces causing metabolic alkalosis. Because this alkalosis is not related to respiration, it is not respiratory alkalosis. On the other hand, respiratory alkalosis occurs when an increase in respiration (hyperventilation) causes a rise in pH above the normal range (7.35 - 7.45).

Your not allowed to ask their age, only if they're above 18, you cannot ask if they have ever been arrested, convicted, or spent time in jail prior to employment (you can however ask a question like "perhaps this job required security clearance, would you be able to attain it? "). you also cannot ask the severity or nature of any disabilities they have but similar to criminal record can ask if they are able to preform the job safely. in addition to this, you can ask *after* an interview if they're married for insurance reasons. so it appears to be c and d, but if you can only chose one it would probably be b.
