NUR 265 Exam 3 Study Questions

NUR 265 Exam 3 Study Questions ► What is the normal arterial blood gas (ABG) range for the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2)? o 80-100 mmHg o What if it’s higher than 100? What if it’s lower than 80?  Higher = too much oxygenation … lower = hypoxia ► What is the normal arterial blood gas (ABG) range for the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2)? o 35-45 mmHg o What if it’s lower than 35? What is it’s higher than 45?  Decreased = Respiratory alkalosis … increased = Respiratory Acidosis ► What is the normal range for the compensatory arterial blood gas (ABG) bicarbonate (HCO3)? o 21-28 mEq/L o What is it’s higher than 28? What if it’s lower than 21?  Higher = respiratory acidosis (compensation for metabolic alkalosis) … Lower = respiratory alkalosis (compensating for metabolic acidosis) ► What is the normal range for glucose?
