    8. Examine vital signs. Which ones are abnormal? What are normal ranges? Abnormal ranges are temperature (100.5) and blood pressure (119/56). The normal range: temperature - 97-99.5, blood pressure - 90-100/60-909. Analyze the ABG. How would you interpret it? Partially compensated metabolic acidosis with hyperoxygenation10. What would you correct? I would correct the bicarbonate11. What is the most likely cause of acid-base balance? The cause of the acid-base balance would be the sedative, the weight of the patient who is obese, respiratory, bicarbonate and metabolic problems.12. If the barometric pressure is 760 using ABG data, what is the patient's PAO2? (760-47)*1.0-(21/.8) 713 - 26.25 = 686.7513. What is the aA ratio? Is this normal for this FIO2? 686.75 - 124 = 562.7514. Calculate CaO2? Is this normal? Is this patient well oxygenated? (Hb x 1.34 x SAO2) + (PAO2 x .003)(8.9 x 1.34 x .99) + (124 x .003) 11.81 + 0.372 12, 18No, it’s abnormal. The normal range is (16 – 20). Yes, this patient is well oxygenated because she is under 100 %
