Describe the compensatory mechanism for each condition in detail; include whether the kidneys or lungs assist.

The normal pH range for systemic arterial blood is between 7.35 and 7.45. Any levels that drop below a pH of 7.35 is a condition known as acidosis. Any levels that rise above a pH of 7.45 is known as alkalosis. Acidosis can depress the central nervous system, which if severe enough, can lead to death. Alkalosis can overly excite the central nervous system causing muscle spasms, convulsions, and even death. Either end of the spectrum can result in an unwanted outcome

Define each condition by including the levels of PCO2 or HCO3- and the pH levels.
Identify at least three or more common causes for each condition.

What are the pros and cons of using personal pronouns in scholarly writing?

Assignment 1: Using the First Person in Research Writing

The use of personal pronouns (I, my, or we) in scholarly writing is an area of great contention in academia. Some say that the use of personal pronouns is a way of asserting your writer’s voice. However, others will discount the use of personal pronouns as inappropriate.

Your course textbook (Ridley, 2008) suggests that one way to assert your writer’s voice is to use personal pronouns in your scholarly writings. Additionally, the APA Style Manual recommends using “I” rather than the third person. However, the use of personal pronouns is often discouraged in academic writings.

In this assignment, you will explore the pros and cons of using personal pronouns in research writing.

Tasks:

On the basis of the course readings and the literature that you have reviewed for this course, in a minimum of 200 words, post your responses to the following:

What are the pros and cons of using personal pronouns in scholarly writing?
Why would most academic institutions not permit the use of these pronouns?
