Acid-base balance ...pH...HCO3, PCO2, CO2...*ugh*
In lecture/theory this has proven to be a difficult subject. So darn confusing to figure out if a patient in congestive heart failure is in respiratory acidosis or metabolic acidosis. It is all rattling around giving me headache. I turned to the 'www' for help some good stuff out there but on a quiz I just end up thinking in circles.... *ack!.....any suggestions?
Tomorrow--off to the ER...and yes, Neil and Chelle I'll be checking out the Doc's for you both to see their Hollywood 'factor' and let you know.

PRN, I wish I had some advise to give you about the CHF stuff. Its completely out of my realm. I can tell you about the effects that ionizing radiation has on the nucleus of a cell....would that help? I didnt think so. ;-)
Good luck with your studies and at the ER.
