Correct answer- 1. Look at pH (acidosis - low or alkalosis - high) 2. Check the CO2 (resp. indicator) - less than 35 (alkalosis) more than 45 (acidosis) 3. Check the HCO3 (metabolic indicator) - less than 22 (acidosis) more than 26 (alkalosis) 4. Determine primary disorder (matches the pH) 5. Determine if its compensated (pH returns to normal or near normal) Respiratory Acidosis: What happens to the pH/CO2? Correct answer- Elevation (increase) of pCO2 -- Decreased pH (acidosis) Respiratory Alkalosis: What happens to the pH/CO2? Correct answer- Depression (decrease) of pCO2 -- Increased pH (alkalosis) Metabolic Acidosis: What happens to the pH/HCO3? Correct answer- Depression (decrease) of HCO3 -- Decreased pH (acidosis) Metabolic Alkalosis: What happens to the pH/HCO3? Correct answer- Elevation (increase) of HCO3 -- Increased pH (alkalosis) What are signs of renal cancer? Correct answer- No pain! Hematuria (Blood in the Urine) How do you manage end stage renal disease?

Correct answer- Hypothyroidism What is the main underlying condition for Type I and Type II Diabetes? Correct answer- Impaired Glucose Transport What is the difference between Type I and Type II Diabetes? Correct answer- Type I - Complete lack of insulin (Hyperglycemia) Type II - Insulin resistance on the cells What would we see with hypoparathyroidism? Correct answer- Decrease of Calcium (softer bones), Positive Chvostek's Sign, Tetany/Hyperactivity of Muscles/Tremors What is the therapy for Type I Diabetes? Correct answer- Give Insulin What is the therapy for Type II Diabetes? Correct answer- Diet, Exercise, Oral Antihyperglycemic Medicine (sensitizes cells to take up insulin) What are some complications of Diabetes? Correct answer- Paresthesia, Neuropathy, Retinopathy, Cardiac Problems, Hypertension, Nephropathy What is Celiac Spruce? What should you avoid? Correct answer- Gluten Intolerance Avoid Wheat Products: Wheat, Rye, Barley What do we associate with hepatic encephalopathy? Correct answer- Increased Ammonia Levels How do histamine antagonists work to manage peptic ulcer disease?
