      Hi Nurse Mendoza-- I think you should submit to the Khan Academy NCLEX teacher competition -- we need a good NCLEX-RN teacher that is relateable and makes the information "real" -- you can look up the requirements -- the deadline is Jan 17 and all you need to teach are 3 diseases or three videos (forgot which one) -- but I think the prize is you get paid for your teaching and Khan Academy is now supported by Bill Gates so not too shabby -- I hope you submit and good luck! -YZ

  • @Vancouversour
    @Vancouversour 7 років тому +27

    Don't just remember the numbers. Understand what they mean. The numbers (45-35) are flipped for PaCO2 because the more CO2 you have, the more acid (H+), which would make the pH more acidic. The lower your CO2, the higher your pH. 😉

    Just wanted to add 3 items:
    Rule#1- For every 10 Units rise/fall in the PCo2 the Ph will change by 0.08 units in the opposite direction.
    Rule#2-For every 1 Unit rise/fall in PH the Hco3 will change in the same direction by 67 Units.
    To check the Base deficit/excess you need to calculate as below:
    -(Actual Ph-Predicted Ph)*67
    Predicted PH(7.4-Calculation obtained from Rule #1).
