NRNP6566 Week 7 Knowledge Check pH pCO2 pO2 HCO3 7.36 30 80 15 Compensated metabolic acidosis with no hypoxemia (metabolic acidosis with respiratory alkalosis) Ph – normal (leaning on acidosis ) pCO2 – decreased (respiratory alkalosis) HCO3 – decreased (rmetabolic acidosis) Metabolic acidosis (decreased HCO3) with no hypoxemia (pO2 is 80, normal) Fully compensated due to normal pH. Respiratory (pCO2) is leading to alkalemia to compensate for the metabolic acidosis.

QUESTION 1 1. For the following ABGs, identify the level of hypoxemia, the primary acid base disorder, and the type of compensation. Example - acute respiratory acidosis with metabolic alkalosis and severe hypoxemia
