Respiratory acidosis questions on NCLEX are airway and breathing questions — if ventilation fails, everything else follows.
In this video, you’ll learn:
• What respiratory acidosis is and why CO₂ retention lowers pH
• Common NCLEX causes:
– COPD and lung disease
– Opioids or sedatives causing hypoventilation
• How to recognize ABG patterns:
– Low pH
– High PaCO₂
• Classic assessment findings:
– Lethargy
– Decreased respiratory rate
• How the kidneys compensate over time (chronic vs acute)
• Priority nursing interventions:
– Restore ventilation FIRST
– Support airway and gas exchange
– Use oxygen cautiously (major NCLEX trap)
This is ABG logic + airway prioritization, not memorization.
