2022 / 2023 NRNP 6566 Final Exam Study Guide Week 6 – 11 Fully Covered   Week 6 and 7 1. Interpret arterial blood gases (ABG). Differentiate alkalosis/ acidosis and respiratory / metabolic 2. Identify a ventilation – perfusion mismatch and how to treat it If there is a mismatch between the alveolar ventilation and the alveolar blood flow, this will be seen in the V/Q ratio. If the V/Q ratio reduces due to inadequate ventilation, gas exchange within the affected alveo...
