Question 1
MEDIUMA 66-year-old with COPD is admitted with acute dyspnea. ABG: pH 7.31, PaCO2 58 mmHg, HCO3− 28 mEq/L, PaO2 60 mmHg on 2 L/min nasal cannula. Which interpretation is most accurate?
Low pH with elevated PaCO2 indicates respiratory acidosis. Elevated HCO3− suggests renal compensation, but pH remains low, so compensation is partial.
