,A patient with a viral illness and severe vomiting has an
elevated CO2 level and pH of 7.53. She is breathing
slowly. What condition does she have? -
✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Metabolic alkalosis
The patient's pH and CO2 levels are both elevated
(moving in the same direction). This indicates metabolic
alkalosis. The CO2 level is high because her respiratory
system is attempting to compensate for the high pH by
exhaling less and retaining more CO2.
Normal CO2 level - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-35-45
Normal pH level - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-7.35-7.45
Normal HCO3 level - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-22-26
Michael's pulmonary edema leads to respiratory acidosis.
How does pH impact Michael's basal metabolic panel?
Choose 3 answers.
, His CO2 level is increased because his lungs have
difficulty removing it from the bloodstream.
His calcium level is reduced because the elevated
concentration of H+ makes it easier for Ca+ to bind to
albumin.
His CO2 level is decreased because his lungs have
difficulty adding it into the bloodstream.
His sodium level is decreased due to hypervolemia.
His K+ is elevated because, as H+ moves inside of cells in
an attempt to get it out of the bloodstream, K+ moves
from cells into the bloodstream. - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-His
CO2 level is increased because his lungs have difficulty
removing it from the bloodstream.
His sodium level is decreased due to hypervolemia.
