Acid/ Base- pH

Human Needs - Test 1

QuestionAnswer
Blood typically alkalonic
pH range N 7.35-7.45 ( determines if acid/base)
acidosis < 7.35 ( Down the pH)
alkalosis >7.45 (Kickin up the pH)
Drug used in Acidosis: sodium bicarb.
pC02 35- 45 mmHg (resp acid or resp base)
HCO3 22-26 mEq/L ( met. acidosis or met alkalosis)
p02 80-100mm Hg ( oxygen status)
Lab work arterial blood gases( blood drawn)
Allen Test*** making sure ulnar artery (radial stick)- acid vs. alkaline
*ROME* R- Resp. O- Opposite M- Metabolic E- Equal
Resp. Acidosis Hypoventilation- < 7.35, incr. CO2 and incr. H+ ( decr. pH) ** (symptoms) headache, hypercalemia, muscle weakness,
Resp. Acidosis Treatment remove excess CO2, **Give oxygen cautiously**
resp. Alkalosis hyperventillation, incr. heart rate, ( pregnancy) symptoms: tinnitis, rapid breathing, hypokalemia

Nursin' Considerations for Resp. Acidosis breathe deeper, cough-> gas exchange
Resp. Alkalosis Causes incr. rate, fever, anxiety attacks, pregnancy, high altitudes
Metabolic Acidosis incr. in acids: diabetes, starvation, renal failure, cirrhosis, OD, hyperkalemia
Met, Acidosis Symptoms Kussmaul resp (fruity smell in urine), changes in LOC, coma, pH< 7.35; Bicarb< 22
Met. Alkalosis incr. in bicarb, decr in acid(***Major problem)
Met. Alk, cause K+ deficit, loss of gastric juices
Met. Alk symptoms bicarb> 26, shallow, slow resp., pC02 in normal limits
Met. Alk. TREATMENT Give NaCl and K=
