Multidimensional Care 2 Exam 2
Acid Base Balance is characterized by - ANSHydrogen atoms too many means more acidic too
little means less acidic
pH is - ANShow hydrogen concentration is measured lower pH means higher acidity, higher pH
means lower acidity
What are the main 3 ways the body controls pH? - ANS-Hydrogen atoms ("buffy
buffer"/chemical buffer/metabolic buffer)
-Respiratory system (carbonic acid)
-Renal system (bicarbonate)
Gastric Juice pH - ANS1.0 - 3.0
Urine pH - ANS5.0-6.0
Arterial blood pH - ANS7.35-7.45
Venous blood pH - ANS7.31-4.41
CSF pH - ANS7.32
Pancreatic fluid pH - ANS7.8-8.0
When acid base is balanced it is characterized by? - ANSfluid containing equal number of
positive charges, ions with negative charges
Changes in acid base balance can affect - ANS-shape of hormones and enzymes
-distribution of other electrolytes
-excitable membranes
-effectiveness of hormones and drugs
ABG (Arterial Blood Gas) measures - ANSthe acidity (pH) and the levels of oxygen and carbon
dioxide in the blood from an artery
what are 3 parts to an ABG - ANS-pH 7.35-7.45
-Co2 35-45 (this is an acid) (higher the number more acidic)
-Hco3 22-26 (bicarb)
Respiratory issue= - ANSrenal system compensates
