NURS 2055 Test 1 With
Complete Solution
What are the three main ways to regulate acid-base balances in the body -
ANSWER Buffer systems
Respiratory system
Renal system
How long does the buffer system take to react? - ANSWER Immediately
How long does the respiratory system take to react? - ANSWER A couple
minutes
What is the major buffer system in the body? - ANSWER carbonic
acid-bicarbonate buffer system
How long does the renal system take to react - ANSWER 24 hours, up to 2-3
days
What fluid makes up the majority of the body's fluid component? - ANSWER
Water
this type of IV solution causes cells to swell and fill with fluid and burst and
die - ANSWER Hypotonic fluids (think of how a hippo is big and swollen)
The primary regulator for water intake is: - ANSWER Thirst
In the patient with hyperkalemia, the most common finding seen in arterial
blood gas analysis is: - ANSWER Acidosis
, what is the normal blood pH - ANSWER 7.35-7.45
the type of IV solution that has fluids that are the same in the ICF and the ECF
- ANSWER Isotonic solutions
The most common Cardiographic indication of hyperkalemia is what? -
ANSWER The EKG will have
- Tall, peaked T waves
- Loss of p waves
- Prolonged PR
- Widening QRS complex
- Heart block
- Cardiac standstill
what are the normal PaCO2 levels - ANSWER 35-45 mmol/L
what are the normal HCO3 levels - ANSWER 22-26 mEq/L
what is the normal sodium level - ANSWER 136-145mmol/L
what is the normal chloride level - ANSWER 98-106mmol/L
what is the normal potassium level - ANSWER 3.5-5.1mmol/L
A patient comes in with a chemical burn down to the bone, which degree of
burn is this? - ANSWER Third degree
what is the normal phosphate level - ANSWER 1.0-1.5mmol/L
what is the normal total calcium level - ANSWER 2.10-2.50mmol/L
This type of IV solution causes water to move out of the cell, which causes
