Question

I'm stuck on drawing the diagram!!

15. A 27-year-old woman has been sick with the fiu for the past week, vomiting several times every day. She is having a difficult time keeping solids and liquids down, and has become severely dehydrated. After fainting at work, she was taken to a local clinic, where an IV was placed to help rehydrate her. Her coworkers reported they were worried about her shallow respiration as they revived her from the faint. • What would you predict the woman's acid-base status to be? . What is the origin of her acid-base state? • How does the patient's condition lead to their acid-base disturbance? Be as specific as you can about the source of the disturbance. • Is the woman compensating for the disturbance? If so, how? • Please construct a Davenport diagram for this patient, including CO2 isoclines, the blood buffer line, the normal point, and the point for your patient corresponding to your diagnosis above. (You may draw your figure by hand.)

please only do the diagram and explain how you got there

Answer 1

1- patient would go in metabolic alkalosis by hypokalemia and hyponatremia.

2- it occurs by the loss of gastric secretions such as hydrochloric acid.

3- it is just because of the loss of acidic gastric secretions through vomiting.

4- yes, the woman is compensating for the disturbance through slower breathing or hypoventilation she is doing.
