Tough one !! :?
Hereīs my guess...
1) B or D (check the options given... 1 and 5 are the same!)
2) E
3) A
4) C
5) D or B
Please... disclose the correct answer... :| I know I should have used a calculator and a bunch of formulas to calculate how much are the compensating mechanisms "overcompensating"... But I guess in real step 2 you donīt have the time to make such calculations, so I tried it by the look of it.
Took me a few minutes... thatīs too expensive for a step 2 question :!: (I guess I should be getting stronger at acid base management then, hugh? :oops: )
