Nightingale Pledge - Nursing Notes Study Guides

The Nightingale Pledge And Its Versions

In 1893, Lystra Gretter crafted the Nightingale Pledge, a revolutionary code that transformed nursing by embedding Florence Nightingale's ethical standards. First adopted at Harper Hospital, it evolved to champion patient care, professionalism, and the modern values that guide nurses today.

Metabolic Acidosis

Metabolic Acidosis is an acid-base imbalance resulting from excessive absorption or retention of acid or excessive excretion of bicarbonate produced by an underlying pathologic disorder.

Metabolic Alkalosis

Metabolic Alkalosis is an acid-base imbalance characterized by excessive loss of acid or excessive gain of bicarbonate produced by an underlying pathologic disorder. Metabolic alkalosis causes metabolic, respiratory, and renal responses, producing characteristic symptoms. This condition is always secondary to an underlying cause.

Respiratory Alkalosis

Respiratory Alkalosis is an acid-base imbalance characterized by decreased partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide and increased blood pH to less than 35 mm Hg, which is due to alveolar hyperventilation.
