kall kthat kapply. k- kANS✓✓-Hypoventilation kresults kin krespiratory kacidosis.
Increase kin kbicarbonate klevels kis kassociated kwith kalkalosis.
Oxygen ksaturation kis knot kused kto kevaluate kacid-base kbalance.
The krenal kbuffering ksystem kprovides kacid-base kcompensation kby: k- kANS✓✓-
Limiting kexcretion kof khydrogen kions kvia kurine koutput.
Oxygen ksaturation kof karterial kblood kis kused kto kprimarily kevaluate kwhich kof
kthe kfollowing? k- kANS✓✓-Respiratory kfunction
Which ktreatment kmethod kwould kbe kused kfor ka kpatient kwho kis kexhibiting
krespiratory kacidosis? k- kANS✓✓-Insertion kof kchest ktube
The knurse kis kcaring kfor ka kpatient kwith krespiratory kalkalosis. kWhat knursing
kinterventions kwould kthe knurse kexpect kto kinclude? kSelect kall kthat kapply. k-
kANS✓✓-Encouraging kslow, kdeep kbreathing
Providing kemotional ksupport
Assisting kwith kactivities kof kdaily kliving
Blood kpH kmust kbe kmaintained kwithin ka knarrow krange; kthink kof kit kas ka
ktightrope kwalker kwho kmust kmaintain kbalance. kIf kthe kwalker's kpole ktips ktoo
kfar kto kthe kleft, kbelow k7.35, kacidosis kresults. kIf kthe kpole ktips ktoo kfar kto kthe
kright, kabove k7.45, kalkalosis kresults.
Several kbuffer ksystems kwork kto kprevent ksignificant kchanges kin kblood kpH,
kincluding kproteins, kphosphates, kand kthe kbicarbonate ksystem. kWe kwill kfocus
kon kthe kbicarbonate ksystem.
In kthe kbicarbonate kequation, kcarbon kdioxide kplus kwater kcreates kcarbonic
kacid, kwhich kdissociates kinto khydrogen kion kplus kbicarbonate. kThis kprocess
kalso kworks kin kreverse. kThe kequation kis klike ka kteeter ktotter ktrying kto
kmaintain kbalance, kwith kcarbon kdioxide kas kan kacid kand kbicarbonate kas ka
kbase. kThe klungs kand kkidneys kuse kthe kbicarbonate ksystem kto khelp kmaintain
kblood kpH. kThis kprocess kis kcalled k"compensation."
