A client admitted with acute anxiety has the following arterial blood gas
(ABG) values: pH 7.55, partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2), 90 mm
Hg, partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2), 27 mm Hg, and
bicarbonate (HCO3-), 24 mEq/L. Based on these values, the nurse
suspects:

a.metabolic acidosis.

b.metabolic alkalosis.

c.respiratory acidosis.

d.respiratory alkalosis. - CORRECT ANSWERS d.respiratory alkalosis.

When evaluating arterial blood gases (ABGs), which value is consistent
with metabolic alkalosis?

a.HCO3 21 mEq/L

b.pH 7.48

c.PaCO2 36

d.O2 saturation 95% - CORRECT ANSWERS b.pH 7.48

a.Prepare to assist with ventilation.



A client comes to the emergency department with status asthmaticus.
His respiratory rate is 48 breaths/minute, and he is wheezing. An
arterial blood gas analysis reveals a pH of 7.52, a partial pressure of
arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) of 30 mm Hg, PaO2 of 70 mm Hg, and
bicarbonate (HCO3??') of 26 mEq/L. What disorder is indicated by these
findings?



a.Metabolic acidosis

b.Respiratory acidosis

c.Metabolic alkalosis

d.Respiratory alkalosis - CORRECT ANSWERS d.Respiratory alkalosis



Which intervention is most appropriate for a client with an arterial
blood gas (ABG) of pH 7.5, a partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide
(PaCO2) of 26 mm Hg, oxygen (O2) saturation of 96%, bicarbonate
(HCO3-) of 24 mEq/L, and a PaO2 of 94 mm Hg?
