For the child experiencing excessive vomiting secondary to pyloric stenosis, the nurse should assess the child for which of the following acid-base imbalances?
参考答案: C
参考解析: Metabolic alkalosis occurs because of the excessive loss of potassium, hydrogen, and chloride in the vomitus. Chloride loss leads to a compensatory increase in the number of bicarbonate ions. The bicarbonate side of the carbonic acid-base bicarbonate is increased, and the pH becomes more alkaline.
