NSG 122 FINAL PAPER EXAM SCRIPT
PRACTICE SOLUTION 2026 GUARANTEED TO
PASS
◍ Insensible Fluid Loss. Answer: cannot be measured or seen and
include fluid lost from evaporation through the skin and as water
vapor from the lungs during respiration
◍ 3 Body Regulation of Fluid Intake. Answer: 1. Hypothalamus
(controls thirst)
2. Kidneys (control Na retention & urine output)
3. Metabolic Oxidation (fluid from food breakdown)
◍ Intracellular Fluid. Answer: Fluid within cells (ICF)
◍ Extracellular Fluid. Answer: Fluid outside the cells (ECF)
◍ Causes of Third Space Fluid Shift. Answer: Burns & Sepsis
◍ Third Space Fluid Shift Definition. Answer: 1. Distributional shift
of body fluids into the transcellular compartment, such as the pleural,
peritoneal (ascites), or pericardial areas; joint cavities; the bowel
2. Excess accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space.
3. Deficit of fluid in ECF
, 4. Fluid trapped in the body
◍ Normal pH. Answer: 7.35-7.45
◍ Acidosis. Answer: is the condition characterized by an excess of H
ions or loss of base ions (bicarbonate) in ECF in which the pH falls
below 7.35
◍ Alkalosis. Answer: occurs when there is a lack of H ions or a gain
of base (bicarbonate) and the pH exceeds 7.45.
◍ HCO3- Normal Range
Acid Range & Basic Range. Answer: 22-26
Below 22 Acid
Above 26 Alkalosis
◍ PaCO2 Normal Range
Acid Range & Basic Range. Answer: 35-45
Above 45 Acid
Below 35 Base
◍ Respiratory Acidosis. Answer: Is a primary excess of carbonic acid
in the ECF. It is produced by inadequate excretion of CO2 with
inadequate ventilation, resulting in elevated plasma CO2 and
increased levels of carbonic acid.
