Question 1 of 5

The nurse is reviewing home care instructions with a client who has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus and has a history of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The client's spouse is present when the instructions are given. Which statement by the spouse indicates that further teaching is necessary?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DK
A) is a life-threatening complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus that develops when a severe insulin deficiency occurs. Infection and the stopping of insulin are precipitating factors for DKA. Nausea and abdominal pain that last more than 1 or 2 days need to be reported to the primary health care provider because these signs/symptoms may be indicative of DKA. Withholding insulin during vomiting can exacerbate DKA and is incorrect.
