Greater Concentration of ions means pH levels
Lower concentrations of ions means pH levels Alkaline
The nurse is caring for a patient who is having severe diarrhea. What condition that exhibits blood values with a low pH and a low plasma bicarbonate concentration should the nurse assess for?
respiratory alkalosis
Metabolic Alkalosis
Respiratory acidosis
Metabolic Acidosis
A nurse reviews the arterial blood gas (ABG) values of a client admitted with pneumonia: pH, 7.52; PaCO2, 29 mm Hg; PaO2, 70 mm Hg; and HCO3--, 23 mEq/L. What do these values indicate?
Respiratory acidosis
Metabolic acidosis
Respiratory alkalosis
Metabolic alkalosis
A client hospitalized for treatment of a pulmonary embolism develops respiratory alkalosis. Which clinical findings commonly accompany respiratory alkalosis?
Headache or blurry vision
Abdominal pain or diarrhea
paresthesia
Hallucinations or tinnitus
A patient who is admitted with acute anxiety has the following arterial blood gas (ABG) values: pH, 7.60; partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2), 90 mm Hg; partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2), 28 mm Hg; and bicarbonate (HCO3–), 24 mEq/L. Based on these values, the nurse suspects:
Metabolic acidosis
Respiratory acidosis
Metabolic alkalosis
Respiratory alkalosis
A client who complains of an “acid stomach” has been Tums regularly as a self-treatment. This may place the client at risk for which acid–base imbalance?
Metabolic acidosis
Metabolic alkalosis
Respiratory acidosis
Metabolic alkalosis
A client experiencing a severe anxiety attack and hyperventilating presents to the emergency department. The nurse would expect the client’s pH value to be:
A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing severely depressed respirations after being on multiple pain medications. The nurse would expect to identify which acid-base disturbance?
Respiratory acidosis
Respiratory alkalosis
Metabolic acidosis
Metabolic alkalosis
The physician has prescribed 0.9% sodium chloride IV for a hospitalized client in metabolic alkalosis. Which nursing actions are required to manage this client? Select all that apply.
Compare ABG findings with previous results.
Administer IV bicarbonate.
Maintain intake and output records.
Document presenting signs and symptoms.
Suction the client's airway
