paO2 - Answer: 80-100 mm Hg
pH - Answer: 7.35-7.45
,low pH - Answer: acidic
high pH - Answer: alkalosis
pa CO2 - Answer: 35-45 mm Hg
HCO3 - Answer: 22-26 mEq/L
respiratory acidosis - Answer: low pH, high co2, normal bicarbonate
causes of respiratory acidosis - Answer: respiratory depression from
anesthesia, overdose, increased intracranial pressure, airway
obstruction from decreased alveolar capillary diffusion like pneumonia,
COPD, ARDS, AND PE
signs/symptoms of respiratory acidosis - Answer: hypoventilation
(hypoxia), rapid, shallow respirations, decrease in BP, skin/mucous pale
to cyanotic, headache, hyperkalemia, dysrhythmias, drowsiness,
dizziness, disorientation, muscle weakness, hyperreflexia
, Nursing management of respiratory acidosis - Answer: ventilator,
arterial blood gas, low-dose oxygen in chronic conditions, high-dose
oxygen in acute hypoxia with acidosis, I/O, promote the release of CO2,
turn/cough/deep breathe, assume semi-high fowlers position, clear
respiratory secretions, colors of skin, mucous membranes
respiratory alkalosis - Answer: high pH, low co2 and normal
bicarbonate
causes of respiratory alkalosis - Answer: high pH, low co2 and
hyperventilation, initial stages of pulmonary emboli, hypoxia, fever,
pregnancy, high altitudes, and anxiety
signs/symptoms of respiratory alkalosis - Answer: seizures, deep/rapid
breathing, hyperventilation, tachycardia, decrease BP, hypokalemia,
numbness/tingling in extremities, lethargy/confusion, light headedness,
N/V
nursing management of respiratory alkalosis - Answer: kidneys retain
H+ ions, use a rebreather mask or paper bag, sedatives, monitor
respiratory rate/depth, tachycardia, low BP, serum K+ levels/ECG levels,
hydration status I/O, check for toxicities
metabolic acidosis - Answer: low ph, normal co2 and low bicarbonate
