Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The first intervention for a client with diabetic ketoacidosis and a blood glucose level of 800 mg/dL should be to initiate fluid replacement therapy with 0.9% sodium chloride at a rate of 15 mL/kg/hr.

This will help to replace fluids lost through excessive urination and to dilute the excess sugar in the blood.

Choice A is wrong because subcutaneous insulin injections are not the first intervention for diabetic ketoacidosis.

Insulin therapy is generally given intravenously.

Choice B is wrong because bicarbonate by IV infusion is not the first intervention for diabetic ketoacidosis.

Choice D is wrong because potassium chloride at a rate of 10 mEq/hr is not the first intervention for diabetic ketoacidosis.

Electrolyte replacement may be necessary to replace minerals such as sodium, potassium, and chloride, but this is not the first intervention 2.

A. 0.5 mL. B. 0.600 mL. C. 0.6 mL. D. 0.8 mL.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

First, convert the client’s weight from pounds to kilograms: 121 lb /.2 = 55 kg. Then, calculate the dose in mg: 1 mg/kg * 55 kg = 55 mg.

Finally, use the ratio of available enoxaparin to calculate the volume to administer: (55 mg / 60 mg) * 0.6 mL = 0.55 mL.

Rounded to the nearest tenth, this is 0.6 mL.

Choice A is wrong because it is less than the calculated dose of 0.6 mL.

Choice B is wrong because it is equal to the calculated dose of 0.6 mL but not rounded to the nearest tenth.

Choice D is wrong because it is greater than the calculated dose of 0.6 mL.
