The nurse is caring for a client who is retaining CO2 as a result of an obstructive
respiratory disease. The nurse plans interventions, knowing that as a client's CO2 level

the pH will fall
A client with a 3-day history or nausea and vomiting presents to the emergency
department. The client is hypoventilating and has a respiratory rate of 10
breaths/minute. The electrocardiogram monitor displays tachycardia, with a heart rate
of 120 beats/minute. Arterial blood gases are drawn and the nurse reviews the results,
expecting to note which finding?
