ABG EXAM PACKAGE DEAL WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS.

Order when reading ABGs? - Oxygenation status (PaO2, level of FiO2 received, O2 delivery device), acid-base balance (pH), ventilation status (PaCO2-also influences acid-base balance), bicarbonate level What are the clinical indications for drawing an ABG? - Patient has a change in LOC, increasing...

An arterial blood gas with a pH of 7.48 indicates: - alkalosis To compensate for a PaCO2 of 24 mm Hg, what will occur? - excretion of bicarbonate ABGs are pH 7.4, CO2 40 mmHg and HCO3 22mEq/L. This indicates: - normal balance Acute respiratory alkalosis can be caused by: - All anxiety, pain and ...

Question 1 of 10 The nurse is caring for a client who is suspected to be septic. The provider orders a lactic acid blood level. The nurse knows that increased lactic acid indicates which of the following conditions for the client? A.Orthostatic hypotension B.Hypercalcemia C.Hypoxia D.Hypotens...

Steps to ABG analysis *Step 1* - Answer-Analyze the pH <7.35 Acidosis >7.45 alkalosis label it. ABG analysis *Step 2* - Answer-Analyze the CO2 <35 is alkalotic >45 is acidic label it. ABG analysis *Step 3* - Answer-Analyze the HCO3 <22 acidotic >26 alkalotic label it ...

What are arterial blood gases? - Answer--reflect oxygenation, gas exchange, and acid-base imbalance -PaO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in arterial blood -SaO2 is the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin PaO2 ranges - Answer-normal is 80-100mmHg <80mmHg = hypoxemia <60 mmHg ...

George Kent is a 54 year old widower with a history of COPD and was rushed to the ED with increasing SHOOB, pyrexia, and productive cough with yellow-green sputum. He has difficulty in communicating because of his inability to complete a sentence. One of his sons, Jacob, says he has been unwell fo...

6 steps to ABG analysis - Answer-1. is the pH normal? 2. Is the CO2 normal? 3. IS the HCO3 normal? 4. Match the CO2 or the HCO3 with the pH 5. Does the CO2 or the HCO3 go the opposite direction of the pH? 6. Are the PO2 and O2 saturation normal? 1. Is the pH normal? - Answer-normal range is 7....

A client is prescribed lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor, for treatment of hypertension. The following lab findings are reported: Glucose: 112 mg/dL Sodium: 144 mEq/L Chloride: 102 mEq/L Potassium: 5.2 mEq/L What electrolyte abnormalities are present? a. Hyperkalemia b. Hypokalemia c. hypernatre...

What physical assessment would you expect to find when hydrostatic pressure rises higher in the capillary system than the interstitial space? A. Poor skin turgor B. Edema C. Dehydration D. Overhydration - Answer-B A patient presents with nausea and vomiting for 48 hours. The patient also compl...

A patient who has required prolonged mechanical ventilation has the following arterial blood gas results: pH 7.48, PaO2 85 mm Hg, PaCO2 32 mm Hg, and HCO3 25 mEq/L. The nurse interprets these results as a. metabolic acidosis. b. metabolic alkalosis. c. respiratory acidosis. d. respiratory alkal...

1. George Kent is a 54 year old widower with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and was rushed to the emergency department with increasing shortness of breath, pyrexia, and a productive cough with yellow-green sputum. He has difficulty in communicating because of his inability to c...

Diagnose the patient: pH = 7.1 (ACIDIC) pCO2 = 40 mm Hg (normal) HCO3 = 18 (Acidic) - *Metabolic acidosis -Pt could have ketoacidosis -The body will compensate by blowing off and lowering CO2 to become more basic Diagnose the patient: pH = 7.1 (ACIDIC) PCO2 = 60 MM HG (ACIDIC) HCO3 = 22 (no...

What is an ABG? - Answer-a measurement of the partial pressure of O2, CO2, pH, and HCO3 in arterial blood Who normally draws this bloodwork? Where is it drawn from? - Answer-Respiratory therapists draw for this profile most commonly from the radial, brachial, and femoral arteries. What is acidos...

pH - 7.52 PCO2 - 31 mmHg PO2- 60 mmHg O2Sat - 90% HCO3 - 25 mEq/L - uncompensated respiratory alkalosis with hypoxemia pH - 7.28 PCO2 - 52 mmHg PO2- 55 mmHg O2Sat - 88% HCO3 - 23 mEq/L - uncompensated respiratory acidosis with hypoxemia pH - 7.48 PCO2 - 37 mmHg PO2- 91 mmHg O2Sat - 97% ...
