A young female presents to the ER with injuries to her arm from a fall.  The initial examination shows increased heart rate and respirations due to her pain.  After given pain meds and while waiting she becomes hysteric, complains of increasing pain and is experiencing muscle cramps.  Her ABG results were as follows: pH =7.50, pO2 = 115, pCO2 = 29, HCO3 = 22 What can you conclude?

Free ionized calcium normally represents approximately what percentage of the total serum calcium?

Osmometry measures changes in colligative properties of solutions such as which of these?

A patient has an acidic pH, decreased HCO3, normal pCO2, and elevated anion gap. What’s wrong with the patient?

Monitoring anion gap is used mostly for

Urea/BUN is produced from:

Identify the tertiary halide(s).  

Arrange the following carbocations in order of their decreasing stabilities (most stable first).  

Alkyl halides always have a density value more than water.
