The client is lethargic and confused. What condition does the nurse suspect? a Diabetic ketoacidosis b Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia syndrome c Hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar ketoacidosis 2 A client with DKA is receiving IV insulin. The potassium level drops from 4.2 to 3.1 mEq/L. What is the priority nursing action? a Notify the provider and monitor ECG closely b Continue current treatment and recheck in 4 hours c Increase IV fluid rate 3 A client with HHS has received 3 liters of IV fluids. Blood glucose is now 240 mg/dL. What should the nurse anticipate? a Adding dextrose to IV fluids b Discontinuing all IV fluids c Increasing insulin infusion rate 4 The nurse assesses a client with suspected DKA. Which finding supports this diagnosis? a Slow, shallow respirations b Kussmaul respirations c Cheyne-Stokes respirations 5 A client presents with blood glucose 380 mg/dL, pH 7.25, bicarbonate 14 mEq/L, and large urine ketones. Which additional assessment finding confirms DKA? a Serum osmolality >340 mOsm/kg b Fruity odor on breath c Blood pressure 180/95 mmHg 6 Which precipitating factor is most commonly associated with both DKA and HHS? a Excessive insulin administration b Physical or emotional stress c Excessive carbohydrate intake 7 A client with undiagnosed diabetes presents to the ED. Lab results: glucose 290 mg/dL, pH 7.28, bicarbonate 15 mEq/L, moderate serum ketones. What diagnosis does the nurse suspect? a Diabetes mellitus 1 b Diabetes mellitus 2 c Gestational diabetes 8 An older adult with type 2 diabetes is taking corticosteroids for COPD exacerbation and develops severe hyperglycemia with altered mental status. Which complication is this client most at risk for developing? a Diabetic ketoacidosis b Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia syndrome c Lactic acidosis 9 A client admitted with DKA asks why they developed this condition. The patient reports running out of insulin 3 days ago. Which explanation by the nurse is most accurate? a "Your body stored excess glucose that suddenly released into your bloodstream." b "Without insulin, your body broke down fat for energy, producing ketones." c "Stress hormones caused your pancreas to stop working." 10 A client with DKA is receiving IV fluids at 200 mL/hr and insulin infusion. Current vital signs: BP 98/62, HR 102, urine output 45 mL/hr. Which assessment finding indicates treatment is effective? a Urine output 45 mL/hr b Blood pressure 98/62 mmHg c Heart rate 102 bpm 11 The nurse is monitoring a client with HHS receiving large-volume fluid replacement. Which finding requires immediate intervention? a Serum osmolality 310 mOsm/kg b Blood glucose 280 mg/dL c Crackles in bilateral lung bases
