sodium 135-145
potassium 3.5-5
BUN 5-20; waste product of protein metabolism, not as sensitive of an indicator as
creatinine, values affected by: protein intake, tissue breakdown, and fluid volume changes
creatinine 0.6-1.2; waste product from muscle metabolism, good indicator of kidney
function
glucose 70-100
calcium 8.5-10.5
chloride 95-105
bicarbonate 23-29
pH 7.35-7.45
PaCO2 45-35 mmHg

which clinical presentation would lead the nurse to suspect that a patient is experiencing
hypermagnesemia? hot flushed skin and hypoactive reflexes
a patient has hypocalcemia. which of the following symptoms would the nurse NOT expect?
kidney stones
a patient has metabolic acidosis. the nurse would expect their HCO3 level to be: 18-20 mm
Hg
the nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with Gitelman syndrome. the nurse knows this is a
genetic kidney disorder characterized by potassium and magnesium wasting via the renal
tubules. in addition to increased potassium and magnesium excretion there are increased
amounts of bicarbonate into blood. the nurse knows that the acid-base imbalance this client is
at the highest risk for: metabolic alkalosis
acidosis results from increasing levels of what ion? hydrogen
which patient is most at risk for hypomagnesemia? a 55-year old who chronically abuses
alcohol
your patient's lab test revealed that their serum calcium is 2.5. which assessment data does the
nurse document when a patient diagnosed with hypocalcemia develops a caropedal spasm
after the blood-pressure cuff is inflated? positive trousseau's sign
the nurse is preparing to care for a patient with hypokalemia. the nurse reviews the patient's
record and determines the patient was at risk for developing hypokalemia because of what
condition? bulimia nervosa
