Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
With severe diabetic ketoacidosis, a very deep, gasping type of breathing develops, called Kuss-maul's respiration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A value of 140 mEq/L for Na+, 105 mEq/L for Cl, and 24 mEq/L for HCO3, yielding an anion gap of 11 mEq/L (140 mEq/L  105 mEq/L + 24 mEq/L = 11 mEq/L). The normal anion gap range is 9 to 14 mEq/L.
