Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Rationale- metabolic acidosis, a nurse would expect to find an arterial blood gas (ABG) result showing a pH below 7.35, indicating an acidic state. Metabolic acidosis is characterized by a decrease in bicarbonate (HCO₃), so an HCO₃ level above 26 mEq/L would not be typical for this condition. Instead, a value below the normal range (22-26 mEq/L) would be expected. PaCO₂ levels above 45 mm Hg would suggest respiratory acidosis, not metabolic acidosis.

Hypervolemia causes the accumulation of excessive fluid in the tissues leading to edema
