A nurse is providing care for a client who has been diagnosed with metabolic alkalosis after several days of antacid use. Then the nurse should prepare to give Intravenous administration of KCl solution.
In metabolic alkalosis there is excess of bicarbonate in the body fluids. It can occur in a variety of conditions.
It may be due to digestive issues, like repeated vomiting, that disrupt the blood’s acid-base balance. It can also be due to complications of conditions affecting the heart, liver and kidneys. In mild cases, you might not experience symptoms. Severe forms of metabolic alkalosis can affect kidney functioning.
Metabolic alkalosis can occur in those who vomit frequently and severely. Additionally, it is typical of those who are hospitalized or in critical condition. If you are dehydrated or require stomach pumping, the danger is quite high (gastric suctioning). Suctioning may be required to remove abnormal fluid or gas buildup, toxicity, or a prescription overdose from your stomach.
