In a Patient with Acidosis, the Nurse Would Expect the Oxyhemoglobin

In a patient with acidosis, the nurse would expect the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to shift:

A) to the right, causing more O₂ to be released to the cells.
B) to the left, allowing less O₂ to be released to the cells.
C) downward, allowing less O₂ to dissolve in the plasma.
D) upward, allowing more O₂ to dissolve in the plasma.
