for signs of related kidney insufficiency, which include:
1. Facial flushing
2. Edema and pruritus
3. Dribbling after voiding
4. Diminished force and caliber of stream
The nurse is reviewing a client’s record and notes that the primary health care provider has

nurse most likely would expect to note which finding?
1. Elevated creatinine level

QUESTION
A client with CKD is experiencing Kussmaul respirations. Which acid-base imbalance should the
nurse suspect the client is experiencing?
A) Metabolic alkalosis
B) Metabolic acidosis
C) Respiratory acidosis
D) Respiratory alkalosis
,ANS: B) Metabolic acidosis
Rationale: As renal failure advances, the kidney loses the ability to excrete hydrogen ions. The
buffering action of the kidney becomes impaired. This leads to metabolic acidosis. Kussmaul
respirations (increasing rate and depth) are the body's attempt to compensate for the acidosis.
Metabolic alkalosis occurs with an increased excretion of hydrogen ions. Respiratory acidosis
occurs with retention of carbon dioxide. Respiratory alkalosis occurs with an increased loss of
carbon dioxide.
