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.

Did you know?

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

Long-term mental and physical effects from substance abuse include: paranoia, psychosis, immune deficiencies, and organ damage.

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

When intravenous medications are involved in adverse drug events, their harmful effects may occur more rapidly, and be more severe than errors with oral medications. This is due to the direct administration into the bloodstream.
