Question 1 of 5
Based on the ABG results: pH 7.33, CO2: 50, HCO3: 22, what acid-base imbalance is present?
 and a CO2 level higher than the normal range (35-45 mmHg). The pH of 7.33 is slightly acidic, and the CO2 of 50 is elevated, suggesting inadequate CO2 removal by the lungs. Metabolic acidosis involves a low HCO3, which is normal here. Metabolic alkalosis shows high pH and HCO3, and respiratory alkalosis shows high pH and low CO2, neither of which apply.)
