Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

B
DKA is marked by hemoconcentration and shock in addition to ketoacidosis. Therefore, treat-ment is directed at restoring acceptable plasma glucose levels, correcting acidosis, replacing lost water and sodium, and normalizing potassium levels. IV fluids and electrolyte therapy are started first, and insulin administration is begun as soon as practical afterward. IV saline, therefore, is the first treatment for DKA.
