Her kidneys will release substances to neutralize the blood.
Explanation: A blood pH of 7.3 is acidic. The kidneys compensate (long-term) by reabsorbing bicarbonate and secreting H+ (and generating new HCO3–) to raise pH. (The lungs also respond more quickly by increasing ventilation to blow off CO2.)
