The Arterial oxygen content is 19.4 ml oxygen/dl; option B.
Arterial oxygen content is a measure of the oxygen content of blood in the arteries.
It is the sum of oxygen bound to hemoglobin and oxygen carried in physical solution in the blood.
The arteries are the blood vessels which carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
The formula for arterial oxygen content:
Arterial oxygen content = (Hgb x 1.34 x SaO₂) + (0.0031 x PaO₂)
Substituting
Arterial oxygen content = (15 * 1.34 * 95%) + (100 * 0.0031)
Arterial oxygen content = 19.4 ml oxygen/dl
