She is breathing slowly. What condition does she have? *Ans* 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 *Ans* 35-45 Normal pH level *Ans* 7.35-7.45 Normal HCO3 level *Ans* 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 t
