    From the symptoms, which are; deep, rapid respirations; flushed, dry cheeks; abdominal pain with nausea; and increased thirst this patient is suffering from diabetes ketoacidosis. The nurse anticipates an acidic ph (7.12) for instance.

    The glucose level will be high, greater than 250 mg/DL. In this case it could be 420mg/dl
