Textbook Question
Chapter 25, Problem 2CSL
Ms. Taylor, 68 years old, has been vomiting for 2 days. On the day of admission to the hospital, she feels agitated and anxious. Her lab results, and normal lab values, are given in the following table. What is the primary disturbance: respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis,
| Variable | Patient’s Lab Results | Normal Values |
| Blood pH | 7.38 | 7.35–7.45 |
| HCO3− | 30 mEq/L | 22–26 mEq/L |
| PCO2 | 60 mm Hg | 35–45 mm Hg |
