Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Which statement best explains the scientific rationale for the client’s Kussmaul’s respirations?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Kussmaul’s respirations (rapid, deep breathing) in DKA compensate for metabolic acidosis by excreting carbon dioxide, a volatile acid, to raise blood pH. Kidneys excrete acid, not urine, and respirations do not increase CO2 or HCO3.
