The client's lab values are sodium 166 meq/l, potassium 5.0 meq/l, chloride 115 meq/l, and bicarbonate 35 meq/l. what condition is this client likely to have, judging by anion gap?

metabolic acidosis.

Explanation:

Anion Gap(AG) is the difference between positively charged ions and negatively charged ions. It is usually expressed in milliequivalents per litre of millimoles per litres.

Anion Gap is measured or calculated when there is a need to know the cause of metabolic acidosis. To

Anion Gap can be calculated with or without potassium.

(1). With potassium= ([Na^+] + [K^+]) − ([Cl^−] + [HCO^−3]).

From the question; client's lab values are sodium 166 mEq/L, potassium 5.0 mEq/L, chloride 115 mEq/L, and bicarbonate 35 mEq/L.

Slotting in the values, we have;

==>[ (166+5) - (115+35)] mEq/L.

(2). Without potassium:

==> [Na^+] - ([Cl^−] + [HCO^−3]).

==> [(166) - 115 + (35)] mEq/L

Normal Anion gap is 20 mEq/L(Calculating with Potassium) and 8-16 mEq/L (calculating without potassium).

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
