The patient's arterial blood gas (ABG) values on room air are PaO2, 70 mm Hg; pH, 7.31; PaCO2, 52 mm Hg; and HC03-, 24 mEq/L. What is the interpretation of the patient's ABG? a. Uncompensated metabolic alkalosis. b. Uncompensated respiratory acidosis. c. Compensated respiratory acidosis. d. Compensated respiratory alkalosis. - Answer: b. Uncompensated respiratory acidosis. Rationale: The pH is closer to the acidic level, so the primary disorder is acidosis. Uncompensated respirato...

ABG - PH - 7.35-7.45 mm HG ABG - PaCO2 range - 35-45 mm HG ABG - PA02 - 80-100mm HG ABG - BE - -2 - 3 MeQ/L CBC: Hemoglobin (Hgb) - what is the normal range? - Normal Value: 14-17.5 G /DL CBC: Hemoglobin (Hgb) - what do high and low values indicate? - High value = smoking? Low value = anemia or blood loss? CBC: Hematocrit - what is the normal range? - Normal value = 41-50% CBC: Hematocrit - what do high and low values indicate? - High value = dehydrated? Low value = anemia or blood l...

fluid and electrolyte balance - the distribution of fluid and dissolved particles among body compartments Nursing role: help prevent; treat fluid, electrolyte disturbances Fluid - Approximately 60% of typical adult is fluid, varies with age, body size, and gender Intracellular Extracellular-intravascular, interstitial, transcellular Third Spacing - loss of ECF into space that does not contribute to equilibrium Electrolytes - Active chemicals that carry positive (cations), negative (anion...
