A client with a diagnosis of Lou Gehrig's disease is brought to the
emergency room by ambulance in respiratory distress. Arterial blood
gases are drawn immediately upon admission. The nurse anticipates
this client will have which condition?
a. Respiratory acidosis
b. Respiratory alkalosis
c. Metabolic acidosis
d. Metabolic alkalosis
a. the nurse should anticipate that this client will have respiratory
acidosis. In this particular example, the client is in respiratory distress
because his disease process is causing him to lose the muscle control
which allows him to breathe. The result will be a buildup of excessive
amounts of CO2.
,A client is admitted to the neurological intensive care unit with a
traumatic brain injury. Arterial blood gases (ABGs) are pH- 7.48, PCO2-
29, HCO3- 25. What is the correct interpretation for these blood gases?
a. Metabolic alkalosis
b. Metabolic acidosis
c. Respiratory alkalosis
d. Respiratory acidosis
c. This is determined due to the fact that the pH is elevated, indicating
an alkalosis, the P CO2 is decreased, indicating the problem is
respiratory.
While providing care for a client that presents with a chloride level of 92
mg/dL, what problem can cause this to occur?
a. loss of magnesium
b. loss of phosphate
c. absorption of sodium
d. loss of sodium
d. loss of sodium is a cause of hypochloremia. Hypochloremia is
reflected in a serum level less than 95 mEq/L. Causes of hypochloremia
include: hyponatremia, excess use of loop diuretics, nasogastric suction,
fever, and loss of fluids through the skin as with burns and sweating.
,The nurse, who is working on a respiratory unit, is caring for a client
admitted with an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD). Which type of acid/base problem would the nurse most
likely expect to find once results are available for the client's arterial
blood gases (ABG's?)
a. Metabolic acidosis
b. Metabolic alkalosis
c. Respiratory acidosis
d. Respiratory alkalosis
c. the nurse would expect the ABGs of a client who has an exacerbation
of COPD to reveal respiratory acidosis. COPD causes poor gas exchange
in the lungs, which leads to a retention of carbon dioxide & an increase
in carbonic acid production. Respiratory acidosis is the result of
hypoventilation in the client with COPD.
Realizing the effect of magnesium on the muscles, which system is
priority to assess with a magnesium level of 4.2 mEq/L? Select all that
apply.
a. neurological system
b. endocrine system
c. neuromuscular system
d. cardiac system
e. respiratory system
, d, e. the respiratory and cardiac system are the priority system to assess
in hypermagnesemia. Cardiac changes include bradycardia,
hypotension, and peripheral vasodilation. Electrocardiogram changes
show a prolonged PR interval with a widened QRS complex. Patients
with severe hypermagnesemia are in extreme danger of cardiac arrest.
The weakness of respiratory muscles can result in respiratory
insufficiency and can lead to respiratory failure and death.
Which sign/symptom would be expected in a client diagnosed with
hypercalcemia? Select all that apply.
a. diarrhea
b. kidney stones
c. bone pain
d. muscle weakness
e. lethargy
b, c, d, e.
Clinical manifestations of hypercalcemia include constipation, anorexia,
nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, and ileus. It can also cause
development of renal (kidney) stones, bone pain, severe muscle
weakness, and lethargy.
