What do the following arterial blood values indicate? pH = 7.59     PCO2 = 45 mm Hg           HCO3- = 35 mEq/L   Question 47 options:   Respiratory acidosis without compensation              Metabolic alkalosis without compensation              Respiratory alkalosis without compensation   Respiratory acidosis with partial compensation             Mixed disturbance

Identify the three blood variables considered when making a diagnosis of acidosis or alkalosis, what are the sources of compensation for blood pH problem of a respiratory origin and of a metabolic/renal origin?

In a person who suffers acidosis, the way to counteract the condition is by:     Drink a large amont of water     Slow Breathing     Inhale a greater amount of CO2 than normal     Stop breathing     Fast and deep breathing

If a person is severely dehydrated, explain what would happen to the plasma volume, hematocrit, and blood viscosity. SAN ANTARANY W

Metabolic acidosis results is low blood pH levels and high bicarbonate ion concentration.   True False

A patient suffers a seizure, becomes unconscious and stops breathing, what type of acid-base disturbance is this?  How might this be compensated and by what system?  Could the patient do this himself?  Explain.

Determine main cause of Acid-Base Disturbance with compensation (if there is one) pH=7.30     PCO2=25     HCO3=16

what is the answer

A client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has a blood pH of 7.25 and a partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO 2) of 60 mm Hg. Which complication would the nurse suspect the client is experiencing? Metabolic acidosis Metabolic alkalosis Respiratory acidosis Respiratory alkalosis

The following patient all has severe edema for different reasons. Your challenge is to explain the cause of the edema. In each case, try to explain the edema in terms of either an increase or a decrease in one of the four pressures that cause bulk flow at capillaries. A picture may be useful. Patient : Mr. Herrera  Mr. Herrera is arriving in an ambulance in anaphylactic shock due to a bee sting. During anaphylactic shock, the capillaries become leaky, and plasma proteins that normally stay inside the blood vessels “escape” into the interstitial fluid. Which pressure is altered in this case, and how is it causing edema?
