A 36-year-old patient has had the parathyroid removed related to cancer. Which electrolytes
can
be affected by the removal of this organ?
Calcium and phosphorus
Potassium and phosphorus
Potassium and chloride
Chloride and calcium
C) Kidneys/urine - ✔✔NCLEX QUESTION
Potassium is primarily excreted through:
Liver
Sweat glands
Kidneys/urine
Intestines/feces
,acid-base balance - ✔✔the process of regulating the pH, bicarbonate concentration, and
partial
pressure of carbon dioxide of body fluids.
can be viewed as on a continuum; optimal balance is seen in the middle and extremes of
imbalance are on each end of the spectrum.
Expected in all well individuals
Requires normal physiological functioning
Indication of homeostasis
Acidotic = pH <7.35
Optimal = pH 7.35-7.45
РаСО, НСО = Alkalotic pH> 7 45
Acid-Base Imbalances - ✔✔Develops as a complication of another underlying condition
Never considered "normal," but may be "expected" if a chronic condition (e.g.,
compensation) is
present
, C) 7.35-7.45 - ✔✔What is the normal pH ABG value?
7.34-7.44
7.35-7.46
7.35-7.45
7.25-7.35
A) 35-45 mm Hg - ✔✔What is the normal PCO2 ABG value?
35-45 mm Hg
80-100 mm Hg
36-46 mm Hg
95-100 mm Hg
B) 80-100 mm Hg - ✔✔What is the normal PaO2 ABG value?
35-45 mm Hg
80-100 mm Hg
36-46 mm Hg
