A client has had continuous nasogastric suction for 48 hours. The client reports weakness and tingling around the mouth. Assessment reveals muscle twitching and hyperreflexia. ABG results are: pH: 7.51 PaCO₂: 43 mm Hg HCO₃⁻: 34 mEq/L The nurse should interpret these findings as:

A client with long-standing COPD has the following ABG results: pH: 7.36 PaCO₂: 58 mm Hg HCO₃⁻: 32 mEq/L The nurse should interpret the elevated bicarbonate as evidence of:

A client receiving continuous nasogastric suction has developed weakness and dizziness. Laboratory testing confirms metabolic alkalosis. Identify the most appropriate nursing priority.

A client with respiratory acidosis secondary to COPD is receiving treatment. Identify the assessments the nurse should include when monitoring for worsening respiratory status. Select all that apply.

The charge nurse is reviewing the clinical information for several clients admitted to the medical-surgical unit. Identify the clients who are at increased risk for developing metabolic acidosis. Select all that apply.  

he nurse is teaching a group of nursing students about compensation for acid–base imbalances. Identify the statements that accurately describe compensation. Select all that apply.

A 70-year-old client with COPD is admitted for increasing shortness of breath. The nurse notes increasing drowsiness, shallow respirations at 10/min, and use of accessory muscles. ABG results are: pH: 7.30 PaCO₂: 60 mm Hg PaO₂: 66 mm Hg HCO₃⁻: 29 mEq/L The nurse should identify the priority problem as:  

A client develops metabolic alkalosis after several days of vomiting and loop-diuretic therapy. Identify appropriate nursing interventions. Select all that apply.  

A client with chronic respiratory disease has retained carbon dioxide for several days. The nurse recognizes that the kidneys are attempting to compensate. Identify the expected kidney response.
