Solution
The response you would NOT expect to see during Daisy’s first few days at La Paz is "Hyperventilation resulting in hypercapnia".
Hypercapnia is a condition of abnormally elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the blood. Hyperventilation, or breathing more rapidly and deeply than normal, is a common response to high altitude as the body tries to get more oxygen. However, this would typically result in lower CO2 levels in the blood, not higher, because you're exhaling more CO2 than you're producing. This can lead to a state of alkalosis, where the blood becomes too alkaline.
On the other hand, the spleen may contract at high altitudes to release more red blood cells and increase the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity, and hypoxia, or low oxygen levels, would also stimulate hyperventilation. So these responses would be expected.
