ATI quiz 6
Acid-base ABG normals - PaCO2 35-45 mmHg.
Acid-base ABG normals - pH 7.35-7.45.
Active transport Movement of molecules using ATP against a gradient.
Adult body water percentage 50-60% of body weight.
Advantages of primary intention Faster healing, less infection risk, smaller scar, less tissue loss.
Anion A negatively charged ion.
Bandage assessment Check circulation, skin integrity, comfort, ventilation, movement.
Blood transfusion steps - before Verify order & indication, obtain informed consent, baseline vitals, type &
administration crossmatch, inspect blood product, two-nurse patient & unit ID check.
Blood transfusion steps - if reaction Stop transfusion immediately, maintain IV with NS, notify provider & blood
suspected bank, return blood/tubing for testing, monitor vitals and urine output.
Blood transfusion steps - start of Prime tubing with 0.9% NS (no dextrose or LR), begin slowly, stay with
transfusion patient first 15 minutes, monitor vitals per protocol (q5-15min).
Cation A positively charged ion.
CDC wound classification Class I clean to Class IV dirty/infected.

C. Abnormally alkaline
D. Fatally acidic
Daily fluid intake/output Approximately 2500 mL/day.
Dehiscence Wound layers separate; patient may feel something "gave way."
Diffusion Movement of particles from high to low concentration.
Longer healing time, higher infection risk, larger scar and contraction,
Disadvantages of secondary intention
