Question Instructions: determine the following: Two specific causes of the… Instructions: determine the following:Two specific causes of the acid-base disturbance.What the pH, pCO2, and HCO3- would look like (as far as elevated, normal, or decreased).Nursing implications for the acid-base disturbance Acid-base disturbance #1Hint: The patient developed after contracting Covid-19. The patient experienced increased dyspnea with rest and exertion and consistently complained of difficulty catching their breath. Upon auscultation there was pulmonary rhonchi with the patient expectorating thick sputum and saturations into the high 80’s.Identify the specific acid-base disturbance.Identify the specific cause of this acid base disturbance.Identify the values for the pH, pCO2, and HCO3.Identify specific interventions for this acid-base disturbance. Acid-base disturbance #2Hint: The patient experienced nausea, profuse watery diarrhea and vomiting after ingestion of spoiled seafood. The patient reported increased BLE muscle cramping during this occurrence. Reports difficulty keeping any fluids down due to nausea. Reports no fever.Identify the specific acid-base disturbance.Identify the specific cause of this acid base disturbanceIdentify the values for the pH, pCO2, and HCO3.Identify specific interventions for this acid-base disturbance. Acid-base disturbance #3Hint: The patient I provided care for has an extensive history of HTN and DM2 with frequent elevations in both numbers. The patient had been complaining of feeling “bloated” and difficulty with socks causing “rings around my ankles.” Per the patient, they sought answers from their PCP who after several different exams performed, found the patient’s GFR was 15mL/min. The patient was immediately scheduled for placement of an AVF and hemodialysis was implemented. Identify the specific acid-base disturbance.Identify the specific cause of this acid base disturbanceIdentify the values for the pH, pCO2, and HCO3.Identify specific interventions for this acid-base disturbance. Acid-base disturbance #4Hint: The recent stressors of the pandemic, personal and family situation, and financial concerns caused my most recent patient to experience an all out panic attack. The patient’s respiratory rate was elevated at 36rpm and a near-syncopal episode. After much redirection and control breathing, the patient was able to gain control over this most recent panic attack.
