Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: While the pH is only mildly acidic, it points to acidosis, the pCO2 is elevated and the bicarbonate is elevated. As a result of elevated carbon dioxide levels, the kidneys are attempting to compensate by raising bicarbonate levels, and have corrected enough to bring pH close to normal.

Answer to Question 2

5
Rationale: Birth order is a family and cultural factor that affects the client's self-concept.
