A nurse is caring for a patient who is being treated for Covid-19 pneumonia and ARDS and requires a mechanical ventilator. The physician orders an arterial blood gas, which provides the following results: pH = 7.18, pCO2= 48 mmHg, HCO3= 29 mEq/L, SaO2=92%. Based on these results, which of the following best describes this patient’s condition?
