Answer:
chemical buffers, respiratory, and kidney functions
Q: What is the 1st line of defense to maintain acid/base balance?
Answer:
Chemical and Protein Buffer Systems
Q: What is the 2nd line of defense to maintain acid/base balance?
Answer:
Lungs - control certain amt. of CO2 in blood
Q: What is the 3rd line of defense to maintain acid/base balance?
Answer:
Kidneys main function is to retain or excrete HCO3 which neutralizes acid in blood Slowest to
respond, yet the most
effective - 24-48 hrs

Answer:
a deficit of H+ ions raises pH
-hyperventilation, DECREASED CO2 LEVEL RELATED TO INCREASED RR, CAUSES

Answer:
hyper refluxes and muscle cramping, anxiety, tachycardia, low or normal BP, hypokalemia,
numbness and tingling of extremities, seizures.
, Q: What happens in respiratory alkalosis?
Answer:
hyperventilation
Fever- increased metabolic demand, increase O2 demand, increase RR
pain hypoxia
Q: What is metabolic acidosis?
Answer:
ADDITION OF AN ACID OR LOSS OF A BASE
Q: What are symptoms will see in your patient with respiratory acidosis?-
Answer:
headache, decreased BP, hyperkalemia, muscle twitching, warm flushed skin, Kussmaul
respirations, changes in level of consciousness (LOC), NVD
Q: What are some common medical problems that will cause metabolic aci- dosis?
Answer:
renal failure, diabetes, diarrhea, severe infections, shock, burns, hypothy- roidism, alcoholism,
starvation, diabetic ketoacidosis
Q: How do you treat metabolic acidosis?
Answer:
treat underlying conditions first dialysis
insulin for DM IV bicarb
