NUR 2349- PN1 Exam 3-with verified answers-2022 • Arterial blood gas levels are obtained for the client. If the client’s results are pH 7.48, CO2 42 mm Hg, and HCO3 32 mEq/L, the client is... exhibiting which one of the following acid-base imbalances? Selected Answer: D. Metabolic alkalosis Correct Answer: D. Metabolic alkalosis Response Feedback: The client’s pH is elevated at 7.48 (normal 7.35 to 7.45), the CO2 is normal at 42 mm Hg (normal 35 to 45 mm Hg), and the bicarbonate is elevated at 32 mEq/L (normal 22 to 26 mEq/L). The client is experiencing metabolic alkalosis. In metabolic acidosis the client’s pH would be below 7.35, and the bicarbonate would be below 22 mEq/L. In respiratory acidosis the client’s pH would be below 7.35, and the CO2 would be elevated above 45 mm Hg. In respiratory alkalosis the client’s pH would be above 7.45, and the CO2 would be below 35 mm Hg.Cognitive Level: analysisNCLEX Blueprint: Physiological Adaptation • Question 2 The nurse would suspect that a client who frequently uses which medication is at risk for developing metabolic alkalosis? Selected Answer: A. Calcium carbonate (Tums) Correct Answer: A. Calcium carbonate (Tums) Response Feedback: Excessive use of oral antacids can lead to metabolic alkalosis. Use of ibuprofen and Tylenol is not associated with the development of metabolic alkalosis. Overdoses of aspirin can be associated with the development of respiratory alkalosis, and eventually can lead to metabolic acidosis.
