You will complete a short case study for this module. Read the case study and answer all the questions that follow.
Case Study
LS is brought to the emergency department for management of acute acetaminophen poisoning. Her respirations are slow and shallow, and she is nonresponsive. She is admitted to the critical care unit to be closely monitored for the development of respiratory failure and renal failure, which often accompany acetaminophen poisoning. Her urine output is decreased to about 20 mL/hr. Her laboratory values are serum K+ = 5.7 mEq/L; arterial blood gases (ABGs): pH = 7.13, PaCO2 = 56 mm Hg, PaO2 = 89 mm Hg, and HCO3- = 18 mEq/L.
Answer the following questions about LS’s situation.
1. What is the most likely cause of LS’s potassium imbalance? Explain the role of the kidney in potassium excretion.
2. What is the relationship between acid-base balance and serum potassium level?
3. What is the reason for LS’s low urine output? How should her fluids be managed?
4. Categorize and explain the probable cause of LS’s acid-base disorder.
5. Can LS compensate for her acid-base disorder? Why or why not?
6. How should her acid-base imbalance be medically managed?
The grading for this assignment will follow the Grading Rubric for Case Study Assignments.
