Question

A patient presented to the emergency room with an overdose of fentanyl. By the time the patient arrived, she had trouble breathing on her own. The resident checked her vitals and found an excessive amount of carbon dioxide in the patient's blood. Before the rest of the lab results come back, the resident anticipates the pH of the patient to be: Answers: A -E A Higher, because higher carbon-dioxide means higher acidity. B Decreased, because of higher levels of carbonic ($H_2CO_3$). C Remain unchanged because water in blood will neutralize carbon-dioxide. D Remain unchanged because carbon-dioxide does not have a hydrogen atom and hence cannot donate a proton ($H^+$). E None of the above
