An adolescent is brought to the emergency department in a coma and is diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis. what is the priority action for the nurse?

If an adolescent is brought to the emergency department in a coma and is diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis, the priority action for the nurse should be to monitor for hypovolemic shock. This is because the client is at risk for shock from dehydration. Dehydration usually results from the osmotic diuresis associated with hyperglycemia and polyuria.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
