Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of physiological acidosis: It refers to a condition where the arterial pH is lower than the normal range, indicating increased acidity in the blood.
Recognize the normal arterial pH range: Typically, the normal range for arterial pH is between 7.35 and 7.45.
Identify the range for acidosis: Physiological acidosis occurs when the arterial pH is below the normal range, specifically between 7.0 and 7.35.
Compare the given options: Evaluate each option to determine which range falls below the normal pH range of 7.35 to 7.45.
Select the correct range: Choose the option that correctly identifies the range of 7.0 to 7.35 as physiological acidosis, as it is below the normal pH range.
