A patient who has required prolonged mechanical ventilation has the following arterial 
blood gas results: pH 7.48, PaO2 85 mm Hg, PaCO2 32 mm Hg, and HCO3 25 mEq/L. The 
nurse interprets these results as 
a. metabolic acidosis. 
b. metabolic alkalosis. 
c. respiratory acidosis. 
d. respiratory alkalosis. 
: ANS: D 
The pH indicates that the patient has alkalosis and the low PaCO2 indicates a respiratory 
cause. The other responses are incorrect based on the pH and the normal HCO3. 
A patient...

Diagnose the patient: 
pH = 7.1 (ACIDIC) 
pCO2 = 40 mm Hg (normal) 
HCO3 = 18 (Acidic) 
: *Metabolic acidosis 
-Pt could have ketoacidosis 
-The body will compensate by blowing off and lowering CO2 to become more basic 
Diagnose the patient: 
pH = 7.1 (ACIDIC) 
PCO2 = 60 MM HG (ACIDIC) 
HCO3 = 22 (normal)

An arterial blood gas with a pH of 7.48 indicates: 
: alkalosis 
To compensate for a PaCO2 of 24 mm Hg, what will occur? 
: excretion of bicarbonate 
ABGs are pH 7.4, CO2 40 mmHg and HCO3 22mEq/L. This indicates: 
: normal balance 
Acute respiratory alkalosis can be caused by: 
: All 
anxiety, pain and CNS lesoin 
ABG results are pH 7.4, PaCO2 60 mmHg, HCO3 36 mEq/L. This indicates: 
: fully compensated respiratory acidosis or metabolic alkalosis

conditions for the client? 
A.Orthostatic hypotension 
B.Hypercalcemia 
C.Hypoxia 
D.Hypotension 
: Answer C 
2 
Hypoxia 
Lactic acid is built up when the body goes without oxygen, indicating hypoxia has occurred.

6 steps to ABG analysis 
: 1. is the pH normal? 
2. Is the CO2 normal? 
3. IS the HCO3 normal? 
4. Match the CO2 or the HCO3 with the pH 
5. Does the CO2 or the HCO3 go the opposite direction of the pH? 
6. Are the PO2 and O2 saturation normal? 
1. Is the pH normal? 
: normal range is 7.35-7.45 
acidosis is less than 7.4

Steps to ABG analysis 
*Step 1* 
: Analyze the pH 
<7.35 Acidosis 
>7.45 alkalosis 
label it. 
ABG analysis 
*Step 2* 
: Analyze the CO2 
<35 is alkalotic 
>45 is acidic 
2 
label it. 
ABG analysis 
*Step 3* 
: Analyze the HCO3 
<22 acidotic 
>26 alkalotic 
label it 
ABG analysis 
*Step 4* 
: Match the CO2 or the HCO3 
with the pH 
if the pH and CO2 are acidotic then the acid-base disturbance is caused by the respiratory 
system 
if the pH and CO2 is alkalotic then its ca...
