Diabetic ketoacidosis is a complication of diabetes .this occurs due to the lack of insulin in the body which leads to excess sugar in the blood.this sugar is released from the liver to the blood stream throgh glycogenesis causing diabetic ketoacidosis.
1) What is ketoacidosis? 2) Why are healthy individuals more resistant to ketoacidosis? 3) Why are diabetic patients more prone to ketoacidosis?
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a result of ________. increase in insulin production a decrease in catecholamine secretion impaired metabolism seen in the elderly increased fat mobilization
A patient presents in DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis), in addition to that they are lethargic and complaining of severe fatigue, nausea and vomiting. What is fluid imbalance is also going on with this patient? What are interventions for this patient? A patient with chronic renal failure presents with a wet cough, bilateral lower extremity and abdominal swelling. What fluid imbalance is also going on with this patient? What are interventions for this patient?
Regular insulin is used to treat Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Explain the rationale of using regular insulin rather than NPH insulin.
During diabetic ketoacidosis the pH of blood decreases. How does the body respond and why? (has to do with the CO2- carbonic acid- bicarb buffer system)

A client with diabetic ketoacidosis is to receive a continuous infusion of regular insulin. The physician orders 1 L of 5% dextrose and water solution to run at 150 ml/hour once the client's blood glucose has reached 250 mg/dL. The drip factor of the tubing is 15 gtt/mL. How many drops/minute will the nurse deliver? HTML Editor
