QuestionAnswer
Normal Na range 135 - 145
Normal K range 3.5 - 5
Normal Ca range 8.5 - 10.5
Normal Mg range 1.8 - 2.7
Normal pH 7.35 - 7.45
pH of acidosis pH < 7.35
pH of alkalosis pH > 7.45
pH that is incompatible with life < 6.8 - > 7.8
Normal PaCO2 range 35-45 mmHg
Normal HCO3 range 22 - 26 mEq/L
the normal Na % concentration .9%
hypotonic tx saline % .45% saline or 1/2 NS
hypertonic tx saline % 3% saline
<7.35 >PaCO2 >HCO3 resp acidosis
<7.35 <HCO3 <PaCO2 metabolic acidosis
>7.45 <PaCO2 <HCO3 resp alkalosis
>7.45 >HCO3 >PaCO2 metabolic alkalosis
compensation for resp alkalosis bicarb and base excess levels...kidneys excrete more bicarb
compensation for resp acidosis kidneys absorb more bicarb or excrete more H...bicarb and base excess levels >
respiratory compensation change is ____ slow= 2-3 days
metabolic compensation changes are ____ fast= within minutes to hours
compensation for metabolic alkalosis lungs decrease the rate and depth of ventilation....PaCO2 levels >
compensation for metabolic acidosis lungs increase rate and depth of ventilation...PaCO2 levels decrease
if the pH comes within the normal range _____ pt has been fully compensated
if the pH has changed but it not yet within normal range _____ the pt has been partially compensated
if the pH has not changed at all _____ the pt has not been compensated at all
if a pt is resp alkalosis (hyperventilating), they are trying to compensate by _____ <HCO3 by excreting it through the kidneys
if a pt is resp acidosis (hypoventilating), they are trying to compensate by _____ >HCO3 by absorbing it in the kidneys or by excreting more H
if a pt is meta alkalosis, they are trying to compensate by _____ >PaCO2 levels by the lungs decreasing the rate and depth of ventilation
if a pt is meta acidosis, they are trying and compensate by _____ <PaCO2 levels by the lungs increasing the rate and depth of ventilation
ECG change: FLAT T wave, presence of U wave HYPOkalemia
ECG change: prolonged PR wave HYPO and HYPER kalemia
ECG change: prolonged QT wave HYPOkalemia, HYPOcalcemia and HYPOmagnesemia
ECG change: shortened QT wave HYPERcalcemia
ECG change: dysrhythmias HYPO and HYPER kalemia, calcemia, and HYPOmagnesemia
ECG change: inotropic effect HYPERcalcemia
ECG change: flatten to no P wave HYPERkalemia
ECG change: wide QRS HYPERkalemia
ECG change: TALL, narrow, peaked T wave HYPERkalemia
ECG change: depressed ST segment HYPOkalemia

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
