Pathophysiology
What this means clinically
This is an NP overlay for ABG & acid–base—not a repeat of the full RN lesson. Pair with the RN depth lesson `us-rn-abg-interpretation` in your pathway catalog for pathophys and NCLEX-style drills, then use this block for APRN-level decisions.
Exam Focus
Why this appears on exams
Expect dose adjustment for renal/hepatic function, interaction and contraindication traps, deprescribing when appropriate, and monitoring after a change (labs, vitals, toxicity screens). Boards reward judgment, pacing, and elimination over memorizing isolated facts.
We didn’t match sample stems to this lesson in the bank yet. You can still run a topic-scoped drill with the same pathway filters—items load from your live PMHNP pool.
