1) A client is brought to the emergency department (ED) after passing out in a local department
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




ustore. The client has been fasting and has ketones in the urine. Which acid-base imbalance would the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




unurse expect to assess in this client?
u u u u u u




A) Metabolicacidosis u




B) Respiratory alkalosis u




C) Metabolic alkalosis u




D) Respiratoryacidosis
uAnswer: A
Explanation: A) A client who is fasting is at risk for development of metabolic acidosis. The
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




ubodyrecognizes fastingas starvation and begins to metabolize its own fattyacids into ketones, which u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




aremetabolic acids. Starvation wouldnot result in respiratory acidosis oralkalosis orin metabolic
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




ualkalosis.
B) Aclient who is fastingisat risk fordevelopment of metabolicacidosis. Thebodyrecognizes
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




ufasting as starvation and begins to metabolize its own fatty acids into ketones, which are
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




umetabolic acids. Starvation would not result in respiratory acidosis or alkalosis or in metabolic
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




ualkalosis.
C) Aclient who is fastingis at risk fordevelopment of metabolicacidosis. Thebodyrecognizes
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




ufasting as starvation and begins to metabolize its own fatty acids into ketones, which are
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




umetabolic acids. Starvation would not result in respiratory acidosis or alkalosis or in metabolic
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




ualkalosis.
D) Aclient who is fastingisat risk fordevelopment of metabolicacidosis. The bodyrecognizes
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




ufasting as starvation and begins to metabolize its own fatty acids into ketones, which are
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




umetabolic acids. Starvation would not result in respiratory acidosis or alkalosis or in metabolic
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




ualkalosis.

,2) Which risk factors exhibited bythe client presenting in the emergencydepartment (ED)
u u u u u u u u u u u u




uwould place the client at risk for metabolic acidosis? Select all that apply.
u u u u u u u u u u u u




A) Abdominal fistulas u




B) Chronicobstructive pulmonarydisease u u




C) Pneumonia
D) Acuterenal failure u u




E) Hypovolemic
ushock Answer: A, u




D, E
u u




Explanation: A) Metabolic acidosis is rarely a primary disorder. It usually develops during the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




ucourse of another disease; presence of abdominal fistulas, which can cause excess bicarbonate loss;
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




uacute renal failure; and hypovolemic shock. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and
u u u u u u u u u u




upneumoniaplacetheclientat risk forrespiratoryacidosis with theincreased retention ofcarbon
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




udioxide in the blood. u u u

, 3) A child with acute asthma has a PaCO2 of 48 mmHg, a pH of 7.31, and a normal HCO3
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




ublood gas value. The nurse interprets these findings as indicative of which condition?
u u u u u u u u u u u u




A) Metabolicacidosis u




B) Respiratory alkalosis u




C) Respiratory acidosis u




D) Metabolicalkalosis
uAnswer: C
Explanation: A) If the pH is decreased and the PaCO2 is increased with a normal HCO3, it is
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




uncompensatedrespiratoryacidosis. Uncompensatedrespiratoryalkalosishas anincreased pH,
u u u u u u u u u u




decreased PaCO2, and normal HCO3. Uncompensated metabolic acidosis has a decreased pH,
u u u u u u u u u u u u




normal PaCO2, and decreased HCO3. Uncompensated metabolic alkalosis has an increased
u u u u u u u u u u u




pH,normal PaCO2, and increased HCO3.
u u u u u




B) IfthepHis decreased and thePaCO2is increased with anormal HCO3, it is uncompensated
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




urespiratory acidosis. Uncompensated respiratory alkalosis has an increased pH, decreased
u u u u u u u u u




uPaCO2, and normal HCO3. Uncompensated metabolic acidosis has a decreased pH, normal
u u u u u u u u u u u




uPaCO2, and decreased HCO3. Uncompensated metabolic alkalosis has an increased pH,
u u u u u u u u u u




unormalPaCO2, and increased HCO3. u u u




C) IfthepHis decreased and thePaCO2 is increased with anormal HCO3, it is uncompensated
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




urespiratory acidosis. Uncompensated respiratory alkalosis has an increased pH, decreased
u u u u u u u u u




uPaCO2, and normal HCO3. Uncompensated metabolic acidosis has a decreased pH, normal
u u u u u u u u u u u




uPaCO2, and decreased HCO3. Uncompensated metabolic alkalosis has an increased pH,
u u u u u u u u u u




unormalPaCO2, and increased HCO3. u u u
