Question
**Calculate the Anion Gap: Is it in the Normal Range?**

Given values:
- Sodium (Na): 132 mEq/L
- Chloride (Cl): 98 mEq/L
- Bicarbonate (HCO₃): 22 mEq/L

Options:
- ○ 12 mEq/L, Yes
- ○ 34 mEq/L, Yes
- ○ 12 mEq/L, No
- ○ 34 mEq/L, No

**Explanation:**
To calculate the anion gap, use the formula:

\[ \text{Anion Gap} = \text{Na} - (\text{Cl} + \text{HCO}_3) \]

Insert the given values:

\[ \text{Anion Gap} = 132 - (98 + 22) = 12 \, \text{mEq/L} \]

A normal anion gap typically ranges from 8 to 16 mEq/L. Therefore, 12 mEq/L is within the normal range.

**Correct Answer:** 12 mEq/L, Yes
