Ch 9 Acid-Base Balance

Chapter 6: Acid-Base Balance | Davis Advantage for Medical-Surgical Nursing (3rd Edition) This video covers Chapter 6: Acid-Base Balance from Davis Advantage for Medical-Surgical Nursing: Making Connections to Practice (3rd ed.) by Hoffman and Sullivan. It was originally created for my own RN-level Medical-Surgical Nursing students, but I’m sharing it here for anyone who needs extra help understanding this complex and high-yield topic. This lecture is perfect for building confidence in assessing and managing acid-base imbalances in clinical practice. In this lecture, we review: ✔️ The body’s mechanisms for maintaining acid-base homeostasis ✔️ Key buffer systems: chemical, respiratory, and renal ✔️ Common acid-base imbalances: respiratory acidosis/alkalosis and metabolic acidosis/alkalosis ✔️ Causes, signs & symptoms, and compensatory mechanisms ✔️ Nursing assessments and interventions 🔹 Aligned with RN nursing curriculum 🔹 Ideal for class review, exam prep, or NCLEX readiness 🔹 Presented by an RN and experienced nurse educator Textbook Source: Hoffman, J., & Sullivan, N.
