A client comes to the emergency department with status asthmaticus. His respiratory rate is 48 breaths/minute, and he is wheezin

g. An arterial blood gas analysis reveals a pH of 7.52, a partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) of 30 mm Hg, PaO2 of 70 mm Hg, and bicarbonate (HCO3??') of 26 mEq/L. What disorder is indicated by these findings?

Answer:

The disorder is called Respiratory alkalosis

Explanation:

A client with asthma can hyperventilate (excess of O2). This oxygen excess can lead also to a lack of carbon dioxide (CO2) (acid substance) which can causes alkalosis (increasing the pH values in blood and body).

In this medical condition (respiratory alkalosis), the bicarbonate (HCO3-) hosted in the kidneys has a late response, so the  HCO3- level  in the client remains normal.

The PaCO2 (partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide) is low in comparison with normal values so that indicates loss of CO2 in the respiratory system.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Absorbed, endothermic

Explanation:

Based on the heat of reaction, chemical reactions may be classified as endothermic or exothermic.

In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surrounding. As heat is absorbed from the surrounding, the reaction vessel feels cool when touched.

On the other hand, in an exothermic reaction, heat is given out by the system to the surrounding and the reaction vessel feels hot when touched.

Hence the reaction is endothermic and energy is absorbed during the reaction.
