Your COPD patient has the following arterial blood gases: pH 7.28, PaCO2 52, and HCO3 35. Which acid-base disturbance is this patient experiencing? b) Compensated respiratory alkalosis c) Partially compensated respiratory alkalosis a) Uncompensated respiratory acidosis d) Partially compensated respiratory acidosis

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
A falling blood pH and rising partial pressure of carbon dioxide, occurring due to pneumonia or emphysema, indicates: A. respiratory acidosis B. respiratory alkalosis C. metabolic acidosis D. metabolic alkalosis
