Answer to Question 1

3
The normal amount of leukocytes or white blood cells in the blood is 4500 to 11,000 mm3. The value of 14 to 18 g/dL is the normal hemoglobin level. The value of 4.6 to 6.2 million/mm3 represents the normal amount of red blood cells. The value of 50 to 60 percent represents a normal neutrophil level.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 4
Interpretation of the client's acid-base status involves the evaluation of three components of the arterial blood gas: pH, PCO2 and HCO3-.. PO2 and O2 Sat are not used to evaluate the client's acid-base status. Hgb level is not a component of the arterial blood gas.
