Question 1 of 5

A nurse reviewed the arterial blood gas reading of a 25-year-old male. The nurse should be able to conclude the patient is experiencing which of the following conditions?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is respiratory alkalosis. In respiratory alkalosis, there is an elevated pH and low carbon dioxide levels (PaCO2 < 35 mmHg). In the given arterial blood gas reading, the patient's pH is 7.41 (within normal range), PaCO2 is 29 mmHg (below normal range), indicating respiratory alkalosis. The bicarbonate level is normal (25 mEq/l), ruling out metabolic acidosis or alkalosis. The low PaO2 (54 mmHg) may indicate hypoxemia, but it is not directly related to the acid-base disorder being assessed. Metabolic acidosis (choice
A) is characterized by low pH and low bicarbonate levels, which are not present in this case. Respiratory acidosis (choice
B) is indicated by low pH and high PaCO2 levels, which also do not match the provided data. Metabolic alkalosis (choice
C) is defined by high pH and high bicarbonate levels, which are not seen in this scenario.
