ABG's acid/base balance

Nursing Students General Students

Published

Can someone who is great at interpreting ABGs please help me? I continue to struggle with Respiratory vs. Metabolic Acidosis especially when compensation is thrown into the mix. How can you tell resp/vs. metabolic and how can you tell partial compensation ( all values are out of whack still, but how can one tell if there's compensation or not.... I guess?)

Thanks in advance!

Can someone tell me what is the good book for biochemistry for nurses. Is there any written specially for nurse students.

Thanks in advance!

You need to spend much less time on biochem and much more time knowing what side to position a client in order to give them a suppository...

I assure you there will be no biochem questions on the nclex
