Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, E
Symptoms of ketoacidosis are compared with those of hypoglycemia. Signs and symptoms include a fruity odor to the breath, nausea, decreased level of consciousness and dehydration. Lab values include ketonuria, decreased serum bicarbonate concentration (decreased CO2 levels) and low pH, and hypertonic dehydration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
The adolescent who is in a growth spurt and filled with raging hormones resents and denies the need to be dependent on a medication. Medication schedules and diet restrictions do not correlate well with the adolescent's lifestyle of eating fast foods. Denial of disease is prevalent in the adolescent.
