Acid/Base Imbalance from Vomiting:
Repeated vomiting results in metabolic alkalosis due to the loss of stomach acid (HCl) (Saladin, 2020).
Effect on Blood Chloride Level from Vomiting:
Repeated vomiting would cause hypochloremia, a condition characterized by decreased chloride levels in the blood (Saladin, 2020).
Definition of “Normal Saline”:
Normal saline is a 0.9% NaCl solution that mimics the salt concentration of body fluids. It is an isotonic solution used to raise blood volume (Tonog, 2021).
Signs of Dehydration (3 examples):
a. Dry mouth
b. Lethargy
c. Extreme thirst (Shaheen et al., 2018)
Respiratory Compensation for Acid-Base Imbalance:
The pulmonary system compensates for acid-base imbalance by regulating breathing rate and depth, which adjusts CO2 levels and consequently pH (Hopkins et al., 2021).
