32
Q

In respiratory alkalosis, pCO2 ___ and pH ___

A

decreases, increases

33
Q

In metabolic acidosis HCO3 ___ and pH ___

A

decreases, decreases

34
Q

What can you alter in PN in the setting of metabolic acidosis

A

Increase acetate

35
Q

acidic IVF solutions

A

D5W and D5w 1/2 NS

36
Q

In metabolic alkalosis HCO3 ___ and pH ___

A

increases, increases

37
Q

IVF treatment of metabolic alkalosis

A

Isotonic saline + KCl

38
Q

During acidosis, hydrogen ions are prominent in the serum. In order to correct the acidosis, Hydrogen ions are pumped _____ the cell, in exchange for ____ which exits the cell. Therefore the patient becomes hyper______

A

into the cell, potassium, hyperkalemic

39
Q

During alkalosis potassium moves _______ the cell while hydrogen ions move ____ of the cell. Therefore the patient becomes hypo_____

A

into the cell, out of the cell, hypokalemic

40
Q

Case: a 42 year old male is admitted with dizziness and weakness. He has a normal blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg while sitting but a low blood pressure while standing (100/64 mmHg) . This suggests orthostatic hypotension. He has had a history of vomiting. Sodium is 129, Potassium is 2.5, chloride is low, bicarbonate is 58, Creatinine is 1.9, BUN is 32, pH is 7.52, pCO2 is 63, pO2 is 68. What disorder is this? What is the cause? What is the expected compensation? What is the proposed treatment?

A

Metabolic Alkalosis caused by loss of hydrochloric acid from the stomach due to vomiting, it is expected that he will decrease his respiratory rate to increase is concentration of PCO2 (hypo ventilate). He can be treated with Normal saline with KCl as potassium is also low, Normal saline is an acidic IVF solution.

41
Q

Case: a 31 year old male is admitted with abdominal pain and weakness. He has a respiratory rate of 24 breaths per minute (normal is 13-16) and has a history of chronic IV drug use. His sodium is 136, potassium of 5.1, chloride of 100, HCO3 of 14, creatinine of 10, BUN of 120, pH of 7.28, pCO2 of 30 , pO2 of 100 and HCO3 13. What disorder is this? What is the cause? What is the expected compensation? What is the proposed treatment?

A

Metabolic acidosis caused by kidney failure. It is expected that his respiratory rate will increase to get rid of acidic CO2 in order to compensate (hyperventilation). Treatment would be dialysis, NaHCO3

54
Q

which organs maintain the composition and volume of body fluid (6)

A

heart, lungs, kidneys, pituitary glands, adrenal gland, parathyroid gland

55
