Section: Questions Set C
Explanation:
(A) In compensated metabolic acidosis, the pH level is normal, the PCO2 level is decreased, and the HCO3 level is decreased. The client's primary alteration is an inability to remove excess acid via the kidneys. The lungs compensate by hyperventilating and decreasing PCO2. (B) In compensated respiratory acidosis, the pH level is normal, the PCO2 level is elevated, and the HCO3 level is elevated. The client's primary alteration is an inability to remove CO2 from the lungs, so over time, the kidneys increase reabsorption of HCO3 to buffer the CO2. (C) In compensated respiratory alkalosis, the pH level is normal, the PCO2 level is decreased, and the HCO3level is decreased. The client's primary alteration is hyperventilation, which decreases PCO2. The client compensates by increasing the excretion of HCO3 from the body. (D) In uncompensated respiratory acidosis, the pH level is decreased, the PCO2 level is increased, and the HCO3 level is normal. The client's primary alteration is an inability to remove CO2 from the lungs. The kidneys have not compensated by increasing HCO3 reabsorption.
