The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is: 👉 Acidic (0-6): Think stomach acid, orange juice, or black coffee 👉 Neutral (7): Pure water hits right in the middle! 👉 Basic (8-14): Think baking soda, ammonia, or bleach Your body works hard to maintain ⚖️ a pH between 7.35-7.45. Arterial blood gases help assess the pH balance in the body to identify acidosis or alkalosis! 📌 Save this chart for your nursing school and NCLEX studying and follow for more tips about ABGs! #nursingstude
