Question 1 of 5

Which essential action should the nurse take based on the results? Laboratory: pH 7.30 [7.35-7.45], PaCO2 66 mm Hg [35-45 mm Hg], HCO3 23 mEq/L [22-28 mEq/L], PaO2 77 mm Hg [80-100 mm Hg]

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The ABG indicates respiratory acidosis (pH 7.30, PaCO2 66 mm Hg) and hypoxemia (PaO2 77 mm Hg). Supplemental oxygen (
B) addresses low PaO2. Chest radiograph (
A) and incentive spirometry (
C) are secondary. Sodium bicarbonate (
D) is for metabolic acidosis, not respiratory.
