(Pick One)
● providing and encouraging fluids
● providing saliva stimulating medication
● helping pt. with oral hygiene - correct answer xerostomia
● The nurse will monitor high CO2 levels (22-30 mEq/L) which can lead to respiratory acidosis
and the pH of the blood <7.4 signifies metabolic acidosis - correct answer acids

,● The nurse will monitor for decreased levels of aldosterone due to...
(Choose one)
● high-sodium diet
● DM
● The nurse will assess pt's BP due to increased levels of aldosterone. - correct answer
aldosterone
● The nurse will monitor the sodium bicarbonate levels which should be in the range of 21-30
mEq/L in adults and also blood pH >7.40 indicates alkalosis. - correct answer akalis/bases
● The nurse will assess for levels of anions, such as chloride, to prevent electrolyte imbalances -
correct answer anion

antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
● The nurse will check patient's sodium levels and assess for hydration status of patient.
● The nurse will monitor pt's BP.

blood. - correct answer cation

much = acidic, too little = basic) - correct answer hydrogen ion
● The nurse will monitor BP. Normal range should be between 100-120 systolic and 60-80
diastolic for an average adult, however, this varies. - correct answer hydrostatic pressure

● The nurse will monitor supplemental oxygen levels in patients with COPD to ensure no
respiratory depression occurs - correct answer hypercarbic drive
● The nurse will assess for dehydration and administer an isotonic IV fluid - correct answer
hypertonic
● The nurse will encourage slow, deep respirations. - correct answer hyperventilation

answer hypotonic
● The nurse will position the patient sitting upright with arms supported by bedside table -
correct answer hypoventilation
, ● The nurse will administer O2 at low flow rates in patient's with COPD to ensure no respiratory
depression - correct answer hypoxic drive
● The nurse will check IV sites, assure patency of type, assess hydration status of patient, and
flow rate of IV.
● The nurse will monitor I&O. - correct answer isotonic

The nurse will administer albumin when there is edema present to bring fluids back to
circulation - correct answer oncotic pressure
The nurse will check to make sure blood is between 275 to 295 mmol/kg of body weight to
determine what type of solution you will infuse: isotonic, hypertonic or hypotonic. - correct

acidosis upon doctor's orders - correct answer sodium bicarbonate
● The nurse will check to make sure it is between 1.015 to 1.024.
● The nurse will check patient's hydration status. - correct answer specific gravity (SG)
