An individual is hospitalized and the initial blood work indicates high levels of
in the blood and a pH of 7. 47. This would indicate the individual probably has compensated respiratory acidosis.
A chronic illness usually leads to compensated respiratory acidosis because the kidneys have time to adjust to the delayed onset. Even if the
is elevated in a compensated respiratory acidosis, the pH is within the usual range.
The kidneys counteract a respiratory acidosis by increasing the amount of
that tubular cells reabsorb from the tubular fluid, the amount of
that collecting duct cells secrete while also producing
, and the amount of
buffer that is formed through ammoniagenesis.
Respiratory acidosis is frequently brought on by hypoventilation as a result of: breathing depression , paralysis of the respiratory muscles, diseases of the chest wall , abnormalities of the lung parenchyma and abdominal squeezing.

The answer to this question would be: 3.125%
Half-life is the time needed for a radioactive molecule to decay half of its mass. In this case, the strontium-89 is already gone past 5 half lives. Then, the percentage of the mass left after 5 half-lives should be:
100%*(1/2^5)= 100%/32=3..125%
