Question 1 of 5
The nurse is reviewing arterial blood gas (ABG) results for a client with diabetic ketoacidosis. Which result is consistent with this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A pH of 7.17 is significantly below the normal range, indicating severe acidosis. In the context of DKA, a compensatory respiratory alkalosis often occurs, and the elevated PaCO2 may indicate a mixed acid-base disorder. This choice most closely aligns with the metabolic acidosis and compensatory respiratory changes expected in DKA.
