Educate the Patient: Provide patient the urine. a state of lkalosis. education regarding the importance of adhering to the prescribed dosage and any dietary restrictions to help maintain acid-base balance. Monitor for Signs of Adverse Effects: Be vigilant for symptoms of metabolic alkalosis, such as changes in mental status, muscle weakness, and respiratory changes. Evaluate Renal Function: Assess renal function regularly, especially in patients with pre-existing renal conditions, as sodium bicarbonate is excreted by the kidneys.
