The datum that supports a diagnosis of compensatory metabolic alkalosis includes; History of diabetes, presence of an infection and deep, labored respiration. Compensatory metabolic alkalosis is consistent with a history of diabetes and the presence of a current infection. Respiratory compensation for metabolic acidosis is in the form of deep, labored respiration. Unconsciousness is consistent with a diagnosis of compensatory metabolic alkalosis.
