The nurse is caring for a client with acute respiratory acidosis and notes the client's rate and depth of breathing are increased. What is the nurse's understanding of the cause of this finding?

▸ Respiratory muscles increase the force of contraction with excess hydrogen levels in the blood.

▸ The diaphragm weakens with excess hydrogen levels in the blood.

▸ As the carbon dioxide level decreases, the respiratory rate increases.

▸ As the pH increases, the respiratory rate increases.
