Answer to Question 1

B
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) occurs predominantly in clients who have type 1 diabetes and can be precipitated by factors such as stress, illness, or surgery. DKA may occur gradually or suddenly, and manifestations are similar to those of hyperglycemia (polyuria, polyphagia, and polydipsia); other symptoms may include nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, weakness, fatigue, blurred vision, skin that is hot and of poor turgor, Kussmaul's respirations, and fruity breath odor.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should include the nursing diagnosis of impaired gas exchange in her nursing care plan. During the apneic or hypopneic periods, ventilation decreases, and blood oxygenation drops. The accumulation of carbon dioxide and the fall in oxygen cause brief periods of awakening throughout the night. Aspiration, impaired bed mobility, and risk of injury are not appropriate diagnoses because the client's loss of sleep poses no direct risk of aspiration, immobility, or injury risk.
