✅ Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Once blood glucose falls to around 250 mg/dL during DKA treatment, IV fluids should
include dextrose to prevent hypoglycemia while continuing insulin infusion. Rapid potassium
bolus and ultralente insulin are inappropriate at this stage.

take?
A. Apply a warm cloth to the bridge of the child's nose

C. Apply continuous pressure to the child's nose for at least 10 min
D. Administer aspirin for the child's pain
✅ Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Applying firm pressure to the soft part of the nose while the child leans slightly
forward for at least 10 minutes helps stop bleeding. Tilting the head back may cause blood to
be aspirated or swallowed.
