Q

PaO2 - THIS IS O2, NOT CO2, Partial pressure of O2 in arterial blood - normal range? (partial o2 in my heart and arteries)

Q

3rd line of defense - renal system

A

most adequate - if kidneys are functioning. Responds within hours to days (last line of defense; may take hours or days to restore normal hydrogen ion concentration)

Q

anion gap

A

when high- ex. ketones.
Reflection of anions not routinely measured.

Q

needle gauges

A

Higher the gauge, smaller diameter of angiocath
Increased fluids over short amt of time
Routine IV fluid administration

23
Q

macrodrip is always what number?

A

you’ll be given that info on the package. could be 10 drops/1 mL. microdrip is always 60.

24
Q

infiltration is (infiltrate the cold)

A

cool to touch

25
Q

phlebitis is

A

hot to touch

26
Q

assess IV site how often?

A

every hour. Assessment
Infiltration
Phlebitis
Review complications
Dressing Changes/tubing changes
Site Changes

27
Q

transfusions

A

Restores blood volume or corrects deficiencies in blood’s oxygen carrying capacity or coagulation components
Requires consent
Review in Taylor & Hinkle: Administration - Assessment - Symptoms of transfusion reaction - Interventions for reaction

28
Q

always hang normal

A

saline. no other solution is acceptable.

29
Q

acid base balance

A

body maintains slight alkyline at 7.35 - 7.45`

30
Q

If PaO2 drops below 60mmHg

A

then will see a large drop in saturation

31
Q

ex of buffers (C and the 2 Ps are buff)

A

Carbonic acid-sodium-bicarbonate, protein & phosphate buffering systems

32
Q

Hypoxemia (literally look at the word - emia) may cause

A
  • anaerobic metabolism
    • hyperventilation
33
Q

If PaO2 drops below 60mmHg, then…

A

will see a large drop in saturation

34
Q

renal system secretes..and reabsorbs what?

A

hydrogen (H+) ions and reabsorbs bicarbonate (HCO3) ions

35
Q

renal system - Reabsorption and secretion of

A

Reabsorption and secretion of electrolytes (e.g., Na, Cl)

36
Q

pH is a measure of..

A

hydrogen ion concentration in body fluids

37
Q

bicarbonate - Principle buffer of intra or extracellular fluids?

A

Normal range is 12mEq/L (+/-2)

39
Q

reasons for loss of anion gap

A

diarrhea (at risk for metabolic acidosis)

40
Q

increase in anion gap (ana dropped increased acid)

A

Seen with lactic acidosis or ketoacidosis (DKA)

ex of colloids (collide with albumin and dex)

A

Albumin
- Dextran

42
