A patient in respiratory distress and is breathing 33 breaths per minute. Which ABG value is consistent with the clinical scenario? PCO2 15 pH 7.30 pH 7.45 O2 sat 100% A patient who is breathing 33 breaths per minute is hyperventilating and blowing off CO2; therefore the PCO2 level will be low. The patient will most likely experience a respiratory alkalosis and the two pH values provided are not consistent with this diagnosis. A patient has a sodium level of 115 mEq/L and is disoriente...
