A child is brought to her HCP. Her parents state that no matter how much she eats,

elevated. She is diagnosed with type I diabetes mellitus (DM 1). If ABGs were done on

Give this one a try later!
a HCO3 of 30 b/c the low numbers of acids in her body stimulate an
increase in HCO3.
, A pt that has been recently diagnosed with a neuroma on the sole of his foot is very
anxious. Of the following, which information shows that the nurse understands the

Give this one a try later!
"Neuromas are benign growths that usually will not spread."
A diabetic pt has patho changes to his arteries that result in narrowing and blockage.
He is diagnosed with gangrene of the toes. Lab work is drawn and shows an elevated
CK. Which patho process accuratley explains this type of occurrence?
Give this one a try later!
ischemia --> cell injury --> swelling --> spillage of cellular enzymes into
blood
A pt ABG results are pH: 7.20; HCO3:17. What might be the cause of this acid base
imbalance?
Give this one a try later!
Large amount of alcohol consumed --> break down of alcohol causes a lot
of acid byproduct --> excess acid accumulation in the blood --> metabolic
acidosis
A pt is admitted to the hospital with a serum osmolality of 165. As an intervention to
return the pt to normal serum osmolality, the nurse is likely to hang an IV bag of ___
