Answer:
PCO2 of 51 mm Hg
Explanation:
ABG is a test that is use to measure or determine the level of carbon dioxide and some other gases from an artery.
Hypercapnia is a condition which is considered abnormal because it involves abnormal increase in carbon dioxide level in the blood. This poise a problem, because normally, carbon dioxide , which is a gaseous product of metabolism, needed to be expelled through breathing sothat the oxygen will be able to reach the lung.
Hypercapnia affects a number of body functions, including acid-base balance and renal, neurological, and CV functions. Elevated levels of PCO2 (38 to 42) produce a decrease in pH (7.35 to 7.45) and respiratory acidosis. Compensatory mechanisms result in an increase in serum HCO3 (22 to 28). In this example, the PO2 level is within normal range. Serum K+ is not part of the ABG analysis.
In summary, the ABG results given as answer confirm the diagnosis.
Diffusion vs. Active Transport: molecules move across cell membranes by two major processes diffusion or active transport. Diffusion is the movement from a high concentration of molecules to a low concentration of molecules. ... Moving molecules with cell energy is called active transport
Most canyons were formed by a process of long-time erosion from a plateau or table-land level. The cliffs form because harder rock strata that are resistant to erosion and weathering remain exposed on the valley walls
