Acid Base Quiz
the arrival blood gas for a 3 month old infant with 1
diarrhea showed that the pH is 7.3, PCO2 is 35, and
HCO3 is 17. which complication would the nurse
conclude has developed?
1. metabolic acidosis
2. metabolic alkalosis
3. respiratory acidosis
4. respiratory alkalosis
an arterial blood gas report indicates the client's pH is 1
7.25, PCO2 is 35, and HCO is 20. Which disturbance
would the nurse identify based on these results?
1. metabolic acidosis
2. metabolic alkalosis
3. respiratory acidosis
4. respiratory alkalosis
, Acid Base Quiz
a client arrives in the emergency department with 3
epigastric pain and prolonged vomiting. assessment
findings include rapid and shallow respirations, dry
and flushed skin, weakness, and lethargy. which is the
primary nursing concern?
