Teaching Acid-Base Balance to Nursing Students

Understanding the Acid-Base balance of humans in critical care settings is difficult for nursing students to understand and to put into their practice. By providing evolving case studies to students there will be a greater understanding and utilization of clinical reasoning with regards to patient acid base homeostasis. With the setting of COVID-19 there is an increased demand for clinical reasoning with regards to respiratory failure as well as a need for students to understand clinical problems with a gap of clinical hours for health safety.
