60-year old woman was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of pneumonia. She had been on a thiazide diuretic for 6 months previously for treatment of heart failure. Her lab results were: K+ 2.1 mM pH 7.64 PCO2 32 mm Hg PO2 75 mm Hg HCO3- 33 mM Classify her acid-base disturbance. Hint: graph it out on the pH-HCO3
