NUR 113 Exam 3 ACID BASE BALANCE AND
THYROID DISEASE QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
- buffer found in the intracellular fluids as
bicarbonates
- controls small fluctuations in pH and respond
quickly
- prove especially effective in the renal tubules,
where phosphates exist in greater concentration
Correct Answers phosphate
- buffer that is mainly responsible for buffering
blood and interstitial fluid
- rely on a series of chemical reactions in which
pairs of weak acids and bases combine with
stronger acids and bases to weaken them
- assisted by the kidneys and lungs Correct
Answers bicarbonate
- Increased appetite with weight LOSS
- Hypermobile/increased motility bowels (Nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain)
- Heat intolerance
- Insomnia
- Palpitations
- Increased sweating
- Smooth and warm skin
- Fine hair and hair loss throughout the body
- Emotionally labile
, - Graves disease (enlarged goiter and
exophthalmos) Correct Answers hyperthyroidism
- most abundant buffers in the body
- work both inside and outside of cells: hemoglobin
inside the cell and albumin and globulins outside
the cell
- binds with acids and bases to neutralize them
Correct Answers protein
- Seen in patients with COPD because they retain
CO2
- Also in patients that have respiratory infections,
MS, massive PE Correct Answers respiratory
acidosis
- slow onset
- goiter on either thyroid
- fluid retention (hyponatremia) and edema
- decreased appetite
- weight gain
- constipation (decreased gastric motility)
- dry skin
- dyspnea, pallor, hoarseness, muscle stiffness
- decreased sense of taste or smell
- increased cholesterol and triglycerides Correct
Answers hypothyroidism
*Causes:* DKA, lactic acidosis (sepsis), loss of alkali
thought the GI tract and decreased acid excretion
