Question

Arterial blood gases (ABGs) are drawn on a patient in the ED (emergency department). The results are: pH: 7.50; PO2: 100; PCO2: 29; HCO3: 26. What compensatory mechanism occurs with this acid base imbalance? • The respiratory rate will increase. • The respiratory rate will decrease. • The kidney will make less HCO3. • The kidney will make more HCO3.

Step 1

pH = 7.50 (alkalotic) PO2 = 100 mmHg (normal) PCO2 = 29 mmHg (low) HCO3 = 26 mEq/L (slightly low, but within normal range) Show more…
