Gastric acid stimulation is used for the detection of duodenal ulcers, gastric atrophy, and gastric carcinoma.

Answer to Question 2

A patient in diabetic ketoacidosis can experience a variety of complications, including fluid volume overload, hypoglycemia, hypokalemia or hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, cerebral edema, and infection.
