Jennifer is admitted to the hospital for bulimia. she is 36 years old. Her laboratory results are: ph 7.48, pCO2 in the normal range, and total HCO3- higher than normal. Is her acid-base balance acidosis or alkaloids, and is this metabolic or respiratory? Is there evidence of compensation? Propose the mechanism by which bulimia contributed to these lab results.
