ROME has to do with Respiratory and metabolic acidosis and alkalosis.
Resiratory Opposite Metabolic Equal.
RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS:
Respiratory acidosis uncompensated: pH acid (-) PaCO2 acid (*) HCO3 normal
Respiratory acidosis partially compensated: pH acid (-) PaCO2 acid (*) HCO3 base (*)
Respiratory acidosis totally compensated: pH normal PaCO2 acid (*) HCO3 base (*)
RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS:
Respiratory alkalosis uncompensated: pH base (*) PaCO2 base (-) HCO3 normal
Respiratory alkalosis partially compensated: pH base (*) PaCO2 base (-) HCO3 acid (-)
Respiratory alkalosis totally compensated: pH normal PaCO2 base (-) HCO3 acid (-)
METABOLIC ACIDOSIS:
Metabolic acidosis uncompensated: pH acid (-) PaCO2 normal HCO3 acid (-)
Metabolic acidosis partially compensated: pH acid (-) PaCO2 base (-) HCO3 acid (-)
Metabolic acidosis totally compensated: pH normal PaCO2 base (-) HCO3 acid (-)
METABOLIC ALKALOSIS:
Metabolic alkalosis uncompensated: pH base (*) PaCO2 normal HCO3 base (*)
Metabolic alkalosis partially compensated: pH base (*) PaCO2 acid (*) HCO3 base (*)
Metabolic alkalosis totally compensated: pH normal PaCO2 acid (*) HCO3 base (*)

Scared to death! Took LPN in Feb, 85 questions and passed. Instructor told me that those that take the LPN within months of the RN, fail the RN. He is also a Kaplan rep. So nervous. Did the Kaplan course 3 weeks ago, not a lot of studying since. Anyone else taking it tomorrow?
