pH impact Michael's basal meta-
bolic panel? Choose 3 answers. His sodium level is decreased due to hypervolemia.
His CO2 level is increased because His K+ is elevated because, as H+ moves inside of cells
his lungs have difficulty removing in an attempt to get it out of the bloodstream, K+ moves
it from the bloodstream. from cells into the bloodstream.
His calcium level is reduced be-
cause the elevated concentration
of H+ makes it easier for Ca+ to
bind to albumin.
His CO2 level is decreased be-
cause his lungs have difficulty
adding it into the bloodstream.
His sodium level is decreased due
to hypervolemia.
