Acid base balance

Acid base balance is essential in maintaining homeostasis. Keeping track of the processes involved in acid base imbalance can be challenging. Create a table or infographic that you can use as a reference to determine the four states of acid base imbalance (respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, and metabolic alkalosis) as well as compensation mechanisms that occur. For each state of imbalance, identify the following information:

• Is the pH high or low?
• Is the level of CO2 high or low?
• Is the level of H+ high or low?
• Is the level of HCO3 high or low?
• Is the respiratory or urinary system compensating?

Requirements: Create a table or an infographic.

• Your submission must be properly cited and formatted according to APA guidelines
• Include formal references with at least two scholarly references in addition to the course textbook.
• If you create your infographic using Prezi or other web-based presentation tool, you will need to export the infographic as a .pptx or .pdf to upload for grading.
