Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
HCO3 is derived from measurements of pH and PaO2 by using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equa-tion. A two-point calibration is a quality assurance test that is performed at least three times daily for the measuring electrodes. The Lambert-Beer law is applied in oximetry to determine the con-centration of hemoglobin. A Levy-Jennings chart is used to record quality control data for a blood gas machine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A pH of 7.26 and 7.35 are acidotic and will cause a right shift in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, increasing the P50 above 27 mm Hg (normal). A PCO2 of 32 mm Hg indicates alkalosis and will shift the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the left, lowering the P50 below 27 mm Hg. A temperature of 39 C is hyperthermia and will cause a right shift in the curve, increasing the P50 above 27 mm Hg.

Pink eye is a term that refers to conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the thin, clear membrane (conjunctiva) over the white part of the eye (sclera). It may be triggered by a virus, bacteria, or foreign body in the eye. Antibiotic eye drops alleviate bacterial conjunctivitis, and antihistamine allergy pills or eye drops help control allergic conjunctivitis symptoms.

Did you know?

ACTH levels are normally highest in the early morning (between 6 and 8 A.M.) and lowest in the evening (between 6 and 11 P.M.). Therefore, a doctor who suspects abnormal levels looks for low ACTH in the morning and high ACTH in the evening.
