3. A person with a pH of 7.34 and arterial blood gas (ABG) values of PCO2 of 30 mmHg and a [HCO3-] of 14 mEq/L would be said to have Select one: a. Respiratory acidosis, with partial renal compensation b. Respiratory alkalosis, with partial renal compensation c. Metabolic acidosis, with partial respiratory compensation d. Metabolic alkalosis, with partial respiratory compensation

The normal pH of blood is $7.40 \pm 0.05$ and is controlled in part by the $\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{CO}_{3} / \mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-}$ buffer system. (a) Assuming that the $K_{\mathrm{a}}$ value for carbonic acid at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ applies to blood, what is the $\left[\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}\right] /\left[\mathrm{HCO}_{3}-\right]$ ratio in normal blood? (b) In a condition called acidosis, the blood is too acidic. What is the $\left[\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}\right] /\left[\mathrm{HCO}_{3}-\right]$ ratio in a patient whose blood $\mathrm{pH}$ is 7.20$?$
