Solution

failed
failed

The answer is: Hyperventilation; brain tumor or injury.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Vomiting; selected diuretics; ingestion of excessive amount of sodium bicarbonate; constipation; excess aldosterone

    • These conditions are typically associated with metabolic alkalosis, not respiratory alkalosis.
  2. Any condition that impairs gas exchange or lung ventilation; rapid, shallow breathing; narcotic or barbiturate overdose or injury to brain stem

    • These conditions are typically associated with respiratory acidosis, not respiratory alkalosis.
  3. Severe diarrhea; renal disease; untreated diabetes mellitus; starvation; excess alcohol ingestion

    • These conditions are typically associated with metabolic acidosis, not respiratory alkalosis.
  4. Hyperventilation; brain tumor or injury

    • These conditions are associated with respiratory alkalosis, as hyperventilation leads to excessive loss of CO2, and brain tumors or injuries can affect the respiratory centers in the brain, leading to hyperventilation.

Summary: Respiratory alkalosis is caused by hyperventilation, brain tumor, or injury.
