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?

    The anion value of 21mEq/L suggest the client will have metabolic acidosis

    Explanation:

    Anion gap is the interval or difference between measured cations (Sodium and Potassium) with the sum of measured anions (chloride and bicarbonate)

    Using the above mentioned data

    (166 + 5) - (115 + 35) = 21mEq/L

    Therefore the Anion gap = 21mEq/L
