- 1)dentify the lab value of Corbin's bicarbonate ion level in mEq/Liter. Only type in numbers no letters (type out your number to zero places after the decimal point. i.e 8 or 18) pH = 7.52 PaCO2 = 48 mm 2) Corbin's condition is determined to be> 3 answers required: respiratory or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis uncompensated or partial compensation Group of answer choices respiratory metabolic acidosis alkalosis uncompensated partial compensationarrow_forwardusing 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.arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forward
- A 79 year old man with COPD has been admitted to the hospital. His ABG results are as follows: pH - 7.35 pCO2 - 46.5 HCO3--27.5 1. Is he in acidosis or alkalosis? 2. Is the cause respiratory or metabolic? 3. Is this uncompensated, partially compensated or fully compensated?arrow_forwardMicky Mango is a 64-year-old male admitted to the emergency room for asthma. His laboratory results are as follows: pH 7.31, pCO2 higher than normal, and total HCO3– also higher than normal. Classify his acid-base balance as acidosis or alkalosis, and as metabolic or respiratory. Is there evidence of compensation? Propose the mechanism by which asthma contributed to the lab results seen.arrow_forwardIdentify the three blood variables considered when making a diagnosis of acidosis or alkalosis, what are the sources of compensation for blood pH problem of a respiratory origin and of a metabolic/renal origin?arrow_forward
- Evaluate the following ABG results. Determine whether the results are high, low, or normal. Distinguish between acidosis and alkalosis. Is the cause metabolic or respiratory? Is compensation occurring? Patient Results: pH 7.40 PCO2 54 HCO3 32arrow_forwardA 42 year old man with severe stomach pain has been admitted to the hospital. His ABG results are as follows: pH-7.50 pCO2 - 32 HCO3--21 1. Is he in acidosis or alkalosis? 2. Is the cause respiratory or metabolic? 3. Is this uncompensated, partially compensated or fully compensated?arrow_forwardThe normal pH of blood is 7.35-4.45. The normal pCO2 level is 35-45mmHg. John has blood work performed. His recorded pH is 7.1. His recorded PCO2 is 20mmHg. Based on this describe the acid base state of John. (ie, metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, respiratory acidosis, and respiratory alkalosis). Support your answer.arrow_forward
- Please answer fastarrow_forwardA 45-year-old woman develops severe diarrhea while on vacation. She develops dehydration and renal failure as a complication. She has the following arterial blood values:pH = 7.25 (Low)Pco2 = 24 mm Hg (low)[HCO3-] = 10 mEq/L (low)Venous blood samples show decreased blood [K+] and a normal anion gap.a. Which acid base disorder is displaced above? Explain your answer.b. What hormonal mechanisms will take place to conserve fluid in this patientc. What factors are considered in measurement of GFR?d. Give 4 functions of the kidneyarrow_forwardTell what the patients acid/base status is and its compensation level. 14. Elizabeth is brought to the ED following an auto accident. She sustained no injuries, but is extremely upset and anxious. She has been breathing rapidly since the crash and now feels faint. Her ABG results are: - pH 7.49 PCO2 30 - HCO3- 23arrow_forward
