L), [normal range: 22-26]

Which condition would the nurse analyze these results to indicate?

Metabolic alkalosis

Metabolic acidosis

Respiratory alkalosis

Respiratory acidosis

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. Metabolic alkalosis is characterized by a high pH and a high HCO3- level; this does not match the provided values.

B. Metabolic acidosis would show a low pH and a low HCO3-, which does not match the findings.

C. The pH is high (7.45) while the Paco2 is low (30 mm Hg), indicating respiratory alkalosis. The low HCO3- could be a compensatory mechanism but does not change the primary interpretation of respiratory alkalosis.

D. Respiratory acidosis would be indicated by a low pH and a high Paco2, which is not the case here.

A. Report of generalized joint discomfort B. Systemic symptoms including elevated temperature C. Denial of pruritus D. Report of exposure to a skin irritant

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Generalized joint discomfort is not commonly associated with contact dermatitis; this condition typically affects the skin locally rather than causing systemic joint symptoms.

B. Systemic symptoms such as elevated temperature are generally not expected with contact dermatitis, as it is usually a localized skin reaction.
