Respiratory Alkalosis is an acid-base imbalance characterized by decreased partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide and increased blood pH to less than 35 mm Hg, which is due to alveolar hyperventilation.
Hyperventilation occurs when a person over-breathes, inhaling and exhaling very quickly and shallowly. Generally, panic attacks or anxiety will result in a person hyperventilating. However there are some additional and possibly serious...
Respiratory Dysfunction - Free download as Word Doc (.doc) or read online for free. This document discusses various pathophysiologic responses that can occur due to respiratory dysfunction, including hypoxia, cyanosis, dyspnea, increased work of breathing, tachypnea, cough, adventitious breath sounds, clubbing of fingers, fatigue, pain, hypoventilation, hyperventilation, respiratory acidosis, and respiratory alkalosis. Hypoventilation can cause respiratory acidosis by not removing enough carbon dioxide from the blood, while hyperventilation can cause respiratory alkalosis by removing too much carbon dioxide. Both conditions involve compensatory responses by the kidneys over time to regulate blood pH levels.
Before I begin this article I want to tell you exactly what happened in my life around February time last year. Within a few weeks, I was going through the tail end of a divorce; I lost my job and my dog died. It was a pretty horrid time to say the least, and I started to feel anxious on a daily basis, struggled with insomnia and was having night sweats. This was the trigger that started my 'health anxiety'. A typical day in early April, 2016: 7.30 am - Got up to get my children ready for school. It was a massive effort to get out of bed, as I felt without a job my life was pointless. Came home and started getting pains in my shoulder and chest. Started to panic and rang the doctors' surgery. I went for the appointment and had a thorough examination and an 'ECG' to put my mind at rest. I was not having a heart attack, but was suffering from a panic attack and my heart was perfectly healthy. 12.30 pm - Went back to bed until 3 pm. I then went to pick my children up from school. 4 pm - Felt exhausted. Started to disbelieve the doctor and wondered whether he was telling me fibs to put my mind at rest or he had missed something. 6 pm - Rang my mum for reassurance and felt a bit better. 9 pm - Put my children to bed and started checking the internet for symptoms of a heart attack. Had a headache and neck tension. Rang my best friend for reassurance and felt a little better. 11 pm - Went to bed very tired. I was worrying about my chest pains again and I hadn't eaten a thing all day. NEXT DAY...More or less the same as the day before. Had different symptoms, couldn't sleep, panicking, feeling giddy, worrying etc etc etc NEXT DAY... More of less the same as before NEXT DAY..As above NEXT DAY..As above and so on for the next 3 months.......................... It was a horrible time, but I can finally say that I overcame it. I was suffering from a medical condition called 'Health Anxiety'. It's a very real debilitating condition that made my life hell for those 3 months. It is actually surprisingly common. Sometimes we can feel that we are the only ones going through something, but of course, it's not true. Many people visit their doctors surgery with imagined illnesses only to be checked over and told that they are in fact perfectly healthy, physically. Is it normal to worry about your health? Yes. We may worry if we need to go to hospital or we are awaiting test results. It can enable us to improve our lifestyle by cutting back on unhealthy food and taking some form of exercise. However, it can become a problem when it gets in the way of a normal life and causes us unnecessary worry when there is no real reason to do so. What are the signs of having health anxiety? You may worry about your health a lot of the time and your life becomes affected by it. You may seek reassurance from health professionals on a regular basis and feel the need to ask friends and family if everything is actually ok. (I did this a lot!). You also feel the need to constantly check your body for symptoms such as strange sensations, lumps and rashes. It can make you feel overly aware of the slightest twinge, say, for example, a stomach pain, and then you think the worst. There is also a tendency to check the internet and books for signs of your supposed illness. This doesn’t put your mind at rest, it just makes you imagine that you have the most serious illness possible and it makes you centre too much on your health so that your day is consumed by it. On the other hand, some people with health anxiety avoid any sort of strenuous activity in case it interferes with their health in general; they may have unfounded ideas of having heart disease, for instance. How it can make you feel Exhausted, stressed, frightened, strange, panicky and detached. Common thoughts “This tingling I feel could be the sign of a stroke” “The Doctor has probably missed something” “This is not a normal headache, I must have something seriously wrong with me” “If I worry it will prepare me for the worst if something really bad happens to me” “I must check my body for signs of a serious disease” You may also feel the need to keep consulting your doctor but may be worried in case you are seen as a time waster. Things you do: Go to the doctors more often Ask for reassurance from people you know Check your body for pain, lumps and tingling Constantly look for symptoms of illness on the Internet or avoid any medical information. What happens to you physically? You feel odd sensations in various parts of your body Chest tightness Sweating Hyperventilation Tingling and numbness in face, toes, fingers or arms. Heart pounds and skips a beat Neck tension Dizziness and so on….. I experienced all of the above. There can be many reasons why a person worries excessively about their health. They may have a friend or a family member that has health problems; or they may have experienced the death of someone that was close to them. Or, they may be going through a great amount of stress. So, even though a person would have had reassurance that there is nothing wrong with their health from their doctor, they still worry. If we focus on symptoms too much we can notice things that we haven't noticed before; it’s like we become hyper-sensitive. The normal aches and pains that occur in our bodies on a daily basis become worrying and cause us to check more frequently. How I overcame my health anxiety Firstly, after many doctor consultations and tests I had to take control of my feelings. I knew that I had to trust my doctor and trust the tests. I decided to take a mild form of an anti-depressant as this would lift my mood, and this has worked very well for me. Some people choose not to go down this path and that’s fine too. We are all different. The main part of the problem had to be dealt with and that was the constant worrying. If I started to have negative thoughts, I would go for a walk, run, or do something completely different. It worked, because it moved my attention away from myself. I had to keep myself busy. (if that makes you tired at the end of the day then good. It will make you sleep better!) The constant checking was distressing me to the point where I couldn’t relax. I made myself stop! Just like that! I took control. I also asked the people I was close to, to tell me to stop when I asked for reassurance; that worked too. It is good to remember that we all have body changes and symptoms all the time. It is normal and is rarely a sign of serious illness. If we experience a headache, it’s often a sign of stress (I had a headache for 3 weeks and it felt like I had a tight band around my head). After a while, it began to dawn on me that the physical symptoms were in fact signs of my stress and anxiety. When I began to take control of the anxiety, my symptoms started to fade away. If you feel that you are not getting a grip on your health anxiety, go to your GP, get some reassurance, get your health checked and believe what they tell you. Trust them. After that, try to begin to take control. Try the techniques I used, they may help. It has been proven that if a person receives ‘CBT’ or ‘Cognitive Behaviour Therapy’ this will alleviate the problem and you will feel a whole lot better. I'm planning an article on this in the near future, but do ask your doctor for advice. In conclusion, I would like to say that I have overcome this horrible condition. I do get the odd day of feeling anxious and stressed but I have developed ways to cope. Relaxation techniques have really worked for me and I will share them in the next article. I am sharing this great little video too .. I hope it helps.

D- incorrect Contact isolation is NOT necessary, because osteomyelitis is not a communicable illness. A nurse is auscultating the lungs of an adolescent who has asthma. The nurse should identify the sound as which of the following? Click the audio button to listen. A- Biots respiration B- Chaney Stokes respiration C- tackypnea D - Bradypnea Answer- c The nurse should identify the sound heard during auscultation as tachypnea, which is a rapid, regular breathing pattern. This breathing pattern often occurs with anxiety, fever, metabolic acidosis, or severe anemia. A- Biot's respirations are periods of apnea alternating with two or three shallow breaths. B- Cheyne-Stokes respirations are periods of apnea alternating with periods of hyperventilation. D- Bradypnea is a slow, regular breathing pattern. A nurse in an emergency department is caring for a school-age child who is experiencing an anaphylactic reaction. Which of the following is the priority action by the nurse? A- Elevate the head of the child's bed B- insert a large-bore IV catheter for the child C- determine the allergen that caused the child's reaction D- administer IM epinephrine to the child Answer- d When using the urgent vs nonurgent approach to client care, the nurse determines that the priority action is administering IM epinephrine to the child. During an anaphylactic reaction, histamine release causes bronchoconstriction and vasodilation. This is an emergency because ultimately it causes decreased blood return to the heart. A- Elevating the head of the child's bed is important to facilitate breathing and circulation. However, it is not the priority action the nurse should take. B- Inserting a large bore IV catheter is important to facilitate administration of IV fluids and medications. However, it is not the priority action the nurse should take.

The nurse should identify which of the following laboratory values indicates effectiveness of the current treatment? A- Potassium 2.9 mEq/L B- sodium 140 C- urine specific gravity 1.035 D- BUN 25 mg Answer- b The nurse should identify that a sodium level of 140 mEq/L is within the expected reference range and indicates the current treatment regimen the infant is receiving for dehydration is effective. A- A potassium level of 2.9 mEq/L is below the expected reference range and indicates hypokalemia. C- A urine specific gravity of 1.035 is above the expected reference range and indicates concentrated urine. D- A BUN level of 25 mg/dL is above the expected reference range and indicates the kidneys are not excreting BUN as they should be.

A- The nurse should instruct the parent to place the infant in a supine position to sleep. Prone and side-lying positions are risk factors for SIDS. B- Placing the infant on a large pillow to sleep can increase the risk of suffocation, asphyxiation, and SIDS. C- The nurse should instruct the parent to use a firm mattress and avoid the use of waterbeds, beanbags, or soft mattresses when placing the infant to bed. The use of a soft mattress in the infant's crib is a risk factor for SIDS and can lead to asphyxiation. A nurse is assessing an infant who has pneumonia. Which of the following findings is the priority for the nurse to report to the provider? A- Nasal flaring B- WBC 11,300 C- diarrhea D- abdominal distension Answer- a When using the airway, breathing, circulation approach to client care, the nurse should place the priority on nasal flaring. Nasal flaring indicates that the infant is experiencing acute respiratory distress. B- The nurse should report a WBC of 11,300/mm3 because it is above the expected reference range and indicates infection. However, another finding is the priority for the nurse to report. C- The nurse should report diarrhea because it is a manifestation of pneumonia in infants and indicates the current treatment is not effective. However, another finding is the priority for the nurse to report. D- The nurse should report abdominal distension because it is a manifestation of pneumonia in infants and indicates the current treatment is not effective.

The nurse should ease the child down to floor in a side-lying position immediately. This position enables the child's secretions to drain from the mouth, preventing aspiration, and maintaining a patent airway. A- The nurse should clear the area around the child of hazardous objects. However, this is not the first action the nurse should take. B- The nurse should loosen the child's restrictive clothing. However, this is not the first action the nurse should take. D- The nurse should apply an oxygen mask to the child to prevent hypoxia. However, this is not the first action the nurse should take.

An episode of forceful vomiting is an indication of increased intracranial pressure in a toddler who has a concussion. B- A report of a headache is nonurgent because it is an expected finding for a child who has infective endocarditis; therefore, the nurse should assess another child first. C- A report of moderate pain is nonurgent because it is an expected finding for a child who has a new halo traction device; therefore, the nurse should assess another child first. D- Brown-colored urine is nonurgent because it is an expected finding for a school-age child who has acute glomerulonephritis; therefore, the nurse should assess another child first.
