1. A client admitted to the hospital has these arterial blood gas (ABG) results: pH 7.50; PaCO 2
PaCO2 40; HCO − 3 HCO3− 29. Which question should the nurse ask the client to help
determine an etiology for these results?
a. "Have you had diarrhea lately?"
b. "Do you have a history of COPD?"
c. "How long have you had nausea and vomiting?"
d. "Do you smoke?" –
ANS-Answer: C; ABG results reflect elevated pH, indicating alkalosis, and normal PaCO 2
PaCO2 and an increased HCO − 3 , HCO3−, indicating metabolic alkalosis. Vomiting is a
common cause of this condition. The presence of diarrhea is associated with metabolic acidosis.
COPD is associated with respiratory acidosis. Smoking can be associated with respiratory
acidosis if it leads to respiratory disease.

increase responsiveness of bronchial smooth muscle to beta-agonist drugs.

knowledge, are indicative of a deteriorating clinical state? Select all that apply.
a. Increased respiratory rate
b. Tachycardia
c. Agitation
d. Cyanosis
e. Increased urinary output – ANSAnswer: A, B, C, D; Increased respiratory rate, tachycardia, and agitation are early signs of
