Question 1 of 5

A client is admitted to the emergency room with a respiratory rate of $7/\min$. Arterial blood gases (ABG) reveal the following values. Which of the following is an appropriate analysis of the ABGs? pH 7.22, PaCO2 68 mm Hg, Base excess -2, PaO2 78 mm Hg, Saturation 80%, Bicarbonate 26 mEq/L

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Respiratory acidosis. In this scenario, the pH is low (7.22) and the PaCO2 is high (68 mm Hg), indicating respiratory acidosis. When the respiratory rate is slow (7/min), less CO2 is exhaled, leading to CO2 retention and respiratory acidosis. The other options are incorrect because the given ABG values do not match the criteria for metabolic acidosis (low bicarbonate, pH<7.35), metabolic alkalosis (high bicarbonate, pH>7.45), or respiratory alkalosis (low PaCO2, high pH).
Therefore, based on the ABG values provided, the correct analysis is respiratory acidosis.
