Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for an infant who has a history of bronchopneumonia. What should the nurse anticipate when monitoring laboratory results? Which of the following venous blood gas results should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: pO2: 55, pCO2: 50, HCO3: 30. In bronchopneumonia, there is impaired gas exchange leading to hypoxemia and hypercapnia.
Choice B reflects this by showing low pO2 (indicating hypoxemia), elevated pCO2 (indicating hypercapnia), and slightly elevated HCO3 (compensatory response).
Choices A, C, and D do not show the expected pattern of abnormalities seen in bronchopneumonia.
Choice A has normal pCO2 and HCO3 levels.
Choice C has normal pCO2 levels.
Choice D has normal pO2 levels.
Therefore, the correct answer is B based on the anticipated laboratory findings in a case of bronchopneumonia.
