hi cache,
an interjection,
rapid shallow breathing is also seen in copd and asthma, hence you cannot rule out choice d)airway obstruction
also profol( respiratory depressant) can cause rapid shallow breathing, i am sure there are other drugs which do the same.
also, interstitial fibrosis( cause of reduced lung compliance) can present with rapid shallow breathing.
i dont see why you think only metabolic acidosis can be the right answer
