Question 4 I didn’t understand if patient have hyperkalemia then priority should be to reduce potassium by giving calcium I know that potassium affect our heart too but here is the priority to treat hyperkalemia .
Question 15- I’m confused, I thought that the immediate intervention was to administer insulin, since it should be the cornerstone of treatment for DKA.
Because fluid imbalance in a patient with DKA is potentially life threatening, the initial goal of therapy is to begin fluid and electrolyte replacement. Insulin is administered only after a potassium level is determined, because insulin administration may cause hypokalemia.
Got 23 out of 25 correct,but qstn 15 is a tricky one, though iv fluids is a priority before insulin,i believe assessment of blood sugar level is essential first
The question states the client has DKA (meaning we already know he has high blood glucose level and ketones in his urine). No need to recheck glucose or do a ketone test at this time. You start treatment.

This’s really good , my friend just shared it
Good luck to all of you passing the NCLEX. I passed my NCLEX first time and I feel practicing questions like these helped a lot!
