Nurses use various techniques to measure pH levels in different biological fluids. The most common methods include:
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG): This test measures the pH and levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in arterial blood. Urinalysis: This involves testing the pH of urine to assess kidney function and diagnose urinary tract infections. Gastric pH Testing: This measures the acidity of stomach contents, which can help in diagnosing conditions like GERD.
