- Diabetic Ketoacidosis: DKA Pathophysiology and Nursing Interventions (Step-By-Step)
Hey friend! Let's break down diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) super SIMPLE for you.
I'm going to walk you through, STEP BY STEP, the pathophysiology of dka and the nursing interventions and treatment, so you can FINALLY understand it for nursing school! :)
I also have a FREE DKA STUDY GUIDE for you here: nursingsos.lpages.co/38754297...
What is diabetic ketoacidosis?
Diabetic ketoacidosis, in a nutshell, happens when the body can't use glucose for energy, and so it breaks down fat instead. And this leads to acids (ketones) being produced, which can lead to acidosis.
Diabetic ketoacidosis pathophysiology:
Here's a quick outline of the pathophysiology of dka, in simple steps for you to follow (you won't find these steps in your textbook, I put it together this way to make learning it easier for you!):
Step 1: There isn't enough insulin because the body can't produce it (like what happens during Type 1 Diabetes)
Step 2: Hyperglycemia occurs because there's no insulin to move glucose into the cells, so it just stays in the blood.
Step 3: The cells use fat for energy instead of glucose
Step 4: Ketones are produced because of that fat breakdown. And ketones are ACIDS!
Step 5: Metabolic acidosis occurs because of all the acid build up in the blood.
Diabetic ketoacidosis treatment and nursing interventions:
There are 3 main nursing interventions for dka: fluids, insulin, and of course, continuing to assess your patient!
The fluids you give to your patient will depend on their particular situation and what the doctor has ordered, but they may include normal saline, Lactated Ringers, 0.45% NaCl, or D5 1/2NS
Nursing assessment for DKA:
There are several key nursing assessments you'll need to to for a patient with DKA, which may include: monitoring their intake and output, weight checks, assessing respiratory status, assessing their IV site and fluids, drawing labs, and assessing their mental status.

I knew I like this explanation and teaching. But when you gave the explanation why at the end of this video I knew, it was the Lord helping you instruct. Praise God. Clear purposeful teaching.

I have a question. What happened to K+? My understanding is that is required to give K+ chloride and phosphate. Can you please correct me if I’m wrong. Thank you😊
Hey Claudia Gonzalez! Great question, it is super important to monitor potassium levels because they can fluctuate when you are correcting blood sugar levels with DKA. If potassium levels fall outside of normal limits then yes you might give KCL. Hope that helps to clarify it!
Excellente

Doctor what happens if we inject more insulin in our body so thst blood sugar decreases below normal.
LOVE......LOVE
Woohoo! Thanks for letting us know you loved the video, friend! We're so happy to hear that! :)
I have type 1 diabetes, and I just ran out of insulin and I can't afford it. I understand what happens when blood sugar rises, so I am not going to consume carbs or sugars unless my blood sugar is low. Do you know how likely I would be to go into ketoacidosis?
