Question

1 why did the patients lactate levels rise?
the lactate levels increased due to aerobic metabolic reactions
the lactate levels increased due to oxygen saturation increases
the lactate levels increased due to increased blood pressure
the lactate levels increased due to anaerobic metabolic reactions

1. what does the increase in lactate do to blood ph?

decreases ph
increases ph
does not alter ph

1. why was the patient treated with iv fluids and oxygen?

to destroy the invading pathogens in the bloodstream by toxic oxygen products
to promote the use of anaerobic metabolism
to increase oxygen concentration and delivery to tissues
to decrease the ph of the bloodstream

1. sepsis is treated with antibiotics to control the ______ that are multiplying in the bloodstream.

enzymes
protozoans
bacteria
viruses

Explanation:

1. Lactate is produced during anaerobic metabolism. Aerobic reactions do not lead to lactate increase. Oxygen saturation increase and blood - pressure increase do not directly cause lactate level rise.
2. Lactate is an acid, so its increase in the blood will decrease the blood pH.
3. IV fluids and oxygen are given to increase oxygen concentration and delivery to tissues, which helps in reducing anaerobic metabolism.
4. Antibiotics are used to control bacteria in sepsis as they are effective against bacterial infections.

Answer:

1. The lactate levels increased due to anaerobic metabolic reactions
2. Decreases pH
3. To increase oxygen concentration and delivery to tissues
4. bacteria
