ATI Fundamental Exam Chapter 25 Candile Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the arterial blood gas (ABG) results of a client. The client's ABGs are: pH 7.6 PaCO2 40 mm Hg HCO3- 32 mEq/L Which of the following acid-base conditions should the nurse identify the client is experiencing?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Metabolic alkalosis. The pH is elevated (alkalotic), indicating an imbalance in the body's acid-base status. The HCO3- level is also elevated, suggesting a primary metabolic alkalosis. The PaCO2 level is normal, ruling out a compensatory respiratory acidosis or alkalosis. Metabolic alkalosis can be caused by excessive vomiting, diuretic use, or excessive bicarbonate intake.

Choices B, C, and D can be eliminated because the ABG values do not align with metabolic acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, or respiratory acidosis.
