Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Cranial nerves III, IV, and VIII are not involved in mouth functions; they primarily deal with eye movements and hearing.
B. Cranial nerves III, II, and VI are involved in vision and eye movement but not in mouth functions.
C. Cranial nerves IX (glossopharyngeal), X (vagus), and XII (hypoglossal) are all tested through functions such as swallowing, speech, and movement of the tongue, which occur in the mouth.
D. Option D incorrectly lists cranial nerve I twice; cranial nerve I (olfactory) is related to the sense of smell, not the mouth.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Metabolic alkalosis is characterized by a high pH and a high HCO3- level; this does not match the provided values.
B. Metabolic acidosis would show a low pH and a low HCO3-, which does not match the findings.
C. The pH is high (7.45) while the Paco2 is low (30 mm Hg), indicating respiratory alkalosis. The low HCO3- could be a compensatory mechanism but does not change the primary interpretation of respiratory alkalosis.
D. Respiratory acidosis would be indicated by a low pH and a high Paco2, which is not the case here.
