Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the arterial blood gas values of a client who has chronic kidney disease. Which of the following sets of values should the nurse expect?

A. pH 7.55, HCO3 30 mEq/L PaCO2 31 mm Hg B. pH 7.50, HCO3 20 mEq/L, PaCO2 32 mm Hg C. pH 7.25, HCO3 19 mEq/L, PaCO2 30 mm Hg D. pH 7.30, HCO3 26 mEq/L, PaCO2 50 mm Hg

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In patients with chronic kidney disease (CK
D), the kidneys are less able to excrete acid, leading to metabolic acidosis. The expected arterial blood gas values would show a lower pH indicating acidemia, a decreased bicarbonate (HCO3-) level, and a normal or low partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) as the lungs try to compensate by blowing off CO2.
