QUESTION

Which among the following will not lead to respiratory acidosis?

OPTIONS

(A) Emphysema
(B) Pneumonia
(C) Psychoneurosis
(D) Damage to respiratory centre in Medulla Oblongata

ANSWER

(C) Psychoneurosis

EXPLANATION

Respiratory acidosis results from hypoventilation and carbon dioxide retention, as can occur in emphysema, severe pneumonia, or depression of the medullary respiratory center. Psychoneurosis is more likely to cause hyperventilation and respiratory alkalosis rather than respiratory acidosis.
