Respiratory Assessment Q: A patient with COPD has the following ABG results on room air: pH 7.32, PaCO 55 mmHg, PaO 58 mmHg, HCO 28 mEq/L. How do you interpret these results, and what is the immediate nursing priority? A: This shows acute respiratory acidosis with partial compensation (low pH, high PaCO, elevated but not fully compensatory HCO). Immediate priorities: 1) Apply supplemental oxygen cautiously (starting with 1-2 L/min via nasal cannula) to target SpO 88-92%, 2) Prepare for possible non-invasive ventilation, 3) Administer bronchodilators as ordered, 4) Monitor closely for respiratory failure. 2. Medication Calculation Q: A patient is to receive heparin 18 units/kg/hr. The patient weighs 154 lbs. Heparin comes 25,000 units in 500 mL D5W. What rate in mL/hr should the infusion pump be set? A: 154 lbs 2.2 = 70 kg 18 units/kg/hr 70 kg = 1,260 units/hr Concentration: 25,000 units 500 mL = 50 units/mL 1,260 units/hr 50 units/mL = 25.2 mL/hr 3. Cardiac Emergency Q: A patient on telemetry suddenly develops ventricular tachycardia with a pulse but is alert with BP 98/60.
