Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
If the pH and Bicarb both go in the same direction...the Acid Base is - Correct Answer-
METABOLIC
pH range - Correct Answer- 7.35-7.45
under 7.35 - acidosis
over 7.45 - alkalosis
Bicarb (HCO3) - Correct Answer- 22-26
PaCO2 - Correct Answer- 35-45
SaO2 - Correct Answer- 95-100%
PaO2 - Correct Answer- 80-100
As the pH goes, so goes my patient, except for Potassium - Correct Answer- - pH goes up
(alkalosis), symptoms go up and hypokalemia [irritability, tachycardia, tachypnea,
hypertension, seizure, tremors, borborygmi]
- pH goes down (acidosis), symptoms go down and hyperkalemia [resp. depression,
hypotension, paralytic ileus, bradycardia]
MacKussmals - Correct Answer- Kussmal respirations occur with Metabolic Acidosis
Respiratory Acidosis or Alkalosis:
Overventilating vs Underventilating - Correct Answer- Overventilating: resp. alkalosis
Underventilating: resp. acidosis
, Metabolic Acidosis or Alkalosis:
Vomiting/Suction - Correct Answer- Vomiting/Suction: Metabolic Alkalosis
Everything else is Metabolic Acidosis

1. Kinked Tube
2. Water in Tube
3. Mucus in Tube
Low Pressure Alarms on Ventilator is set off by... - Correct Answer- Disconnection
1. Main Tubing -> reconnect
2. Oxygen Sensor Tubing
