Module 1 Acid-Base Balance
The Concept of Acid-Base Balance
1) A client is brought to the emergency department (ED) after passing out in a local department
store. The client has been fasting and has ketones in the urine. Which acid-base imbalance would
the nurse expect to assess in this client?
A) Metabolic acidosis
B) Respiratory alkalosis
C) Metabolic alkalosis
D) Respiratory acidosis
Answer: A
Explanation: A) A client who is fasting is at risk for development of metabolic acidosis. The
body recognizes fasting as starvation and begins to metabolize its own fatty acids into ketones,
which are metabolic acids. Starvation would not result in respiratory acidosis or alkalosis or in
metabolic alkalosis.
B) A client who is fasting is at risk for development of metabolic acidosis. The body recognizes
fasting as starvation and begins to metabolize its own fatty acids into ketones, which are
metabolic acids. Starvation would not result in respiratory acidosis or alkalosis or in metabolic
alkalosis.
C) A client who is fasting is at risk for development of metabolic acidosis. The body recognizes
fasting as starvation and begins to metabolize its own fatty acids into ketones, which are
metabolic acids. Starvation would not result in respiratory acidosis or alkalosis or in metabolic
alkalosis.
D) A client who is fasting is at risk for development of metabolic acidosis. The body recognizes
fasting as starvation and begins to metabolize its own fatty acids into ketones, which are
metabolic acids. Starvation would not result in respiratory acidosis or alkalosis or in metabolic
alkalosis.

, 2) Which risk factors exhibited by the client presenting in the emergency department (ED) would
place the client at risk for metabolic acidosis? Select all that apply.
A) Abdominal fistulas
B) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
C) Pneumonia
D) Acute renal failure
E) Hypovolemic shock
Answer: A, D, E
Explanation: A) Metabolic acidosis is rarely a primary disorder. It usually develops during the
course of another disease; presence of abdominal fistulas, which can cause excess bicarbonate
loss; acute renal failure; and hypovolemic shock. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and
pneumonia place the client at risk for respiratory acidosis with the increased retention of carbon
dioxide in the blood.
B) Metabolic acidosis is rarely a primary disorder. It usually develops during the course of
another disease; presence of abdominal fistulas, which can cause excess bicarbonate loss; acute
renal failure; and hypovolemic shock. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia
place the client at risk for respiratory acidosis with the increased retention of carbon dioxide in
the blood.
C) Metabolic acidosis is rarely a primary disorder. It usually develops during the course of
another disease; presence of abdominal fistulas, which can cause excess bicarbonate loss; acute
renal failure; and hypovolemic shock. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia
place the client at risk for respiratory acidosis with the increased retention of carbon dioxide in
the blood.
