Nursing Quiz: Acid-Base Balance Test! The acid-base balance is a mechanism used by our body to keep its fluids close to neutral pH so that the body can function smoothly. This nursing quiz will test your ability of acid-base balance, so take it and learn a little more about acidosis and alkalosis in the human body.
