400

A body is in metabolic acidosis, how will the body compensate?

kussmals resirations, increase respiration rate 

500

what is the relationship with potassium and metabolic acidosis and alkalosis

metabolic acidosis- increase potassium 

metabolic alkolosis- low potassium

100

is CO2 an acid or base?

acid

200

respitory acidosis causes

what is an important nursing intervention after getting ABG

hold pressure on puncture site

400

Patient is in DKA. What is the result of their ABG and what is the potassium level. what is an example of their compensation.

ABG- metabolic acidosis

Potassium- high potassium

Comensation- kussmals respirations

500

what medication can cause respiratory alkalosis

aspirin toxicity
