The correct answer is b. Uncompensated respiratory acidosis.<br /><br />Explanation:<br />In this scenario, the patient has a low pH (6.90) and high PaCO2 (68 mmHg), indicating respiratory acidosis. The HCO3- level is low (13 meq/L), which suggests that there has been no renal compensation yet. Therefore, the acid-base status is uncompensated respiratory acidosis.
