Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

1. In most cases, a person with acidosis does not have a blood pH lower than 7.0. 2. If the blood pH of 7.1 caused a person’s death, the cause of the person’s death would be acidosis. 3. Toxic chemicals, such as methanol, can cause respiratory acidosis. 4. Emphysema or pneumonia can lead to respiratory acidosis. 5. Treatment for metabolic alkalosis caused by vomiting is a normal saline solution (a sodium chloride solution). This is effective because the sodium can react with the bicarbonate.
