of communication), Diagnosing (findings through written and spoken word with other HC
professionals), Planning (what you are going to do), Implementing (doing a plan of care
based on your diagnosis), Evaluating (did pt. meet their goal or did they not?)
Metabolic Acidosis - Answers - Kidneys are used.
pH < 7.35; HCO3 <22-26
Metabolic Alkalosis - Answers - kidneys are used; pH> 7.45; HCO3 >22-26
Respiratory Acidosis - Answers - Lungs used; pH <7.35; CO2>35-45
Respiratory Alkalosis - Answers - Lungs used; pH>7.45; CO2<35-45
Which Mask is the most precise? - Answers - Venturi Mask
L/Min: Nasal Canula - Answers - 1-6 L/min
L/Min: Simple Mask - Answers - 6-8 L/min
L/Min: Partial Rebreather Mask - Answers - 8-11 L/min
L/Min: Non-breather Mask - Answers - 12 L/min; highest concentration of O2 delivery
L/Min: Venturi Mask - Answers - 4-10 L/min; most precise
, Hyperventilation - Answers - a condition in which there is more than the normal amount
of air entering and leaving the lungs. Can use pursed lip breathing or use a bag so that
they can bring some of the CO2 back into their body's to prevent respiratory alkalosis
Hypoventilation - Answers - decreased rate or depth of air movement into the lungs
Range for Potassium - Answers - 3.5-5.2 mEq/L
What is potassium's role in the body? - Answers - controls intracellular osmolality,
regulates cellular enzyme activity, role in transmission of electrical impulses in nerve,
heart, skeletal, intestinal and lung tissue, helps with protein and carb metabolism,
regulation of acid-base balance by cellular exchange with hydrogen ions.
Hypokalemia - Answers - low potassium, effects U wave, leg cramps, decreased bowel
sounds, decrease peristalsis, at risk for constipation, decreased deep tendon reflexes,
gets lost from diuretics, nausea, vomiting, gastric suction
Hyperkalemia - Answers - high potassium, cardia arrest, weakness, increased bowel
sounds, increased peristalsis, renal failure, also increased by heparin, bp meds (ace
inhibitors), NSAIDS, more dangerous but less frequent than hypokalemia
Range of Sodium - Answers - 135-145 mEq/L
What is sodium's role in the body? - Answers - regulates ECF volume, role in muscle
contraction and transmission of nerve impulses, regulation of acid-base balance as
sodium bicarbonate.
Hyponatremia - Answers - low sodium, confusion, very tired and lethargic, abnormal
craving for salt, if it gets too low can cause seizures or convulsions, caused by loss of
sodium through nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, profuse sweating or increase in water
hypernatremia - Answers - high sodium, abnormal craving for water, decrease in LOC, if
too high can have seizures or convulsions, caused by increase in sodium intake, excess
loss of water, fluid deprivation, decreased fluid consumption, diarrhea, burn patients,
hyperventilation over extended period of time, brain damage can occur especially in
children
HPV puts you at risk for what? - Answers - cervical cancer
Malpractice lawsuits are more _____ - Answers - common law
Nurse Practice Act - Answers - Statutory law developed by state legislature. Ohio Board
of Nursing handles the breaches of it
