Question 1 of 5

The nurse interprets this ABG result as Laboratory: pH 7.62 [7.35-7.45], PaCO2 19 mmHg [35-45 mm Hg], HCO3- 24 mEq/L [22-28 mEq/L], PaO2 85 mmHg [80-100 mm Hg]

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: High pH (7.62) and low PaCO2 (19 mm Hg) with normal HCO3- indicate uncompensated respiratory alkalosis (
D) due to hyperventilation.
