Chapter 25, Problem 2CSL
Ms. Taylor, 68 years old, has been vomiting for 2 days. On the day of admission to the hospital, she feels agitated and anxious. Her lab results, and normal lab values, are given in the following table. What is the primary disturbance: respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis,
| Variable | Patient’s Lab Results | Normal Values |
| Blood pH | 7.38 | 7.35–7.45 |
| HCO3− | 30 mEq/L | 22–26 mEq/L |
| PCO2 | 60 mm Hg | 35–45 mm Hg |

A 76 year old woman with pneumonia has been admitted to the hospital. She is
experiencing confusion and shortness of breath. Her ABG results are as follows:
pH - 7.30
pCO2 - 52
HCO3--24.5
1. Is she in acidosis or alkalosis?
2. Is the cause respiratory or metabolic?
3. Is this uncompensated, partially compensated or fully compensated?
using the table below, explain based on the bloodwork result, which clinical condition the patient would most likely have:
metabolic acidosis, respiratory acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, or respiratory alkalosis.
Explain why or why not, and provide a detailed rationale.
A patient's arterial blood gas (ABG) values are pH = 7.34, PaCO2 = 44, HCO3 = 28. The nurse would analyze these findings as indicating
metabolic acidosis, partially compensated
respiratoy acidosis, partially compensated
metabolic acidosis, uncompensated
respiratory acidosis, uncompensated
