Selina's acid-base balance Selina was taken to the emergency room after being so weak and confused. She has been suffering from some stomach issues that left her with excessive vomition for several days. What do you think has happened to Salina's acid-base balance (acidosis or alkalosis)? How would her body attempt to compensate? what are the symptoms associated with her condition?  Can you think about some of the electrolytes that are affected by the vomiting?  New answer please
