PRN1178/ PRN 1178 Exam 2 (Latest 2024/ 2025 Update) Client-Centered Care II| Complete Guide with Questions and Verified Answers| All Modules Covered| 100% Correct| A Grade - Rasmussen Q: What 3 things are included in Acid/Base balance (How do we balance the PH? Answer: chemical buffers, respiratory, and kidney functions Q: What is the 1st line of defense to maintain acid/base balance? Answer: Chemical and Protein Buffer Systems Q: What is the 2nd line of defense to maintain acid/base balance? Answer: Lungs - control certain amt. of CO2 in blood Q: What is the 3rd line of defense to maintain acid/base balance? Answer: Kidneys main function is to retain or excrete HCO3 which neutralizes acid in blood Slowest to respond, yet the most effective - 24-48 hrs Q: What role do the lungs play in compensation/balance? Answer: react within seconds to the imbalance by altering the respiratory rate, although immediate the duration of compensation is short. Q: What role do the kidneys play in compensation/balance? What is Alkalosis? Answer: are slower to react to the changes in pH and are more powerful; however, they are slower to respond taking days to correct the imbalance. Q: What are the normal values PH, CO2, and HCO3? These need to be memo- rized. Answer: PH- 7.35-7.45 CO2- 35 to 45 HCO3- 22-26 Q: What causes alkalosis? Answer: a deficit of H+ ions raises pH -hyperventilation, DECREASED CO2 LEVEL RELATED TO INCREASED RR, CAUSES TOO MUCH CO2 TO BE EXHALED Q: What signs will you see in a patient with alkalosis? Answer: hyper refluxes and muscle cramping, anxiety, tachycardia, low or normal BP, hypokalemia, numbness and tingling of extremities, seizures. Q: What happens in respiratory alkalosis? Answer: hyperventilation Fever- increased metabolic demand, increase O2 demand, increase RR pain hypoxia Q: What is metabolic acidosis? Answer: ADDITION OF AN ACID OR LOSS OF A BASE Q: What are symptoms will see in your patient with respiratory acidosis?- Answer: headache, decreased BP, hyperkalemia, muscle twitching, warm flushed skin, Kussmaul respirations, changes in level of consciousness (LOC), NVD Q: What are some common medical problems that will cause metabolic aci- dosis? Answer: renal failure, diabetes, diarrhea, severe infections, shock, burns, hypothy- roidism, alcoholism, starvation, diabetic ketoacidosis Q: How do you treat metabolic acidosis? treat underlying conditions first dialysis insulin for DM IV bicarb Q: What is metabolic alkalosis?
