A lung scan is performed and the V/Q ratio is reported to the nurse as �... �high.” This patient has most likely suffered a(n) a. MI. b. pulmonary embolus. c. atelectasis. d. episode of pulmonary edemaArterial blood gases (ABGs) are drawn. The results are: pH: 7.50; PO2: 100; PCO2: 29; HCO3: 26. This altered state is called a. respiratory acidosis b. metabolic acidosis c. respiratory alkalosis. d. metabolic alkalosisWhat mechanism is likely causing the disturbance noted in question #2? a.

These numbers mean the patient a. is in metabolic alkalosis. b. has hypercapnia, which is his normal state of compensation. c. is probably in respiratory failure. d. is probably in his normal state of compensatory hyperventilation.A 50 year old male is evaluated in the emergency room (ER) for a complaint of dyspnea.

ABGs, peak flow test (PF), VQ scan and chest x-ray (CXR) are completed. Results are below. ABGs: pH 7.48, PCO2: 30, HCO3 : 24, PO2 80, SO2 94%. PF: 50% of predicted norm (ie, “low” PF). V/Q scan 0.8. CXR shows hyperinflated aveoli and air trapping [Show More]
