Using the case study below, prepare a 3-5 page paper.

A 21-year old female (A.M) presents to the urgent care clinic with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and a fever for 3 days. She states that she has Type I diabetes and has not been managing her blood sugars since she’s been ill and unable to keep any food down. She’s only tolerated sips of water and juices. Since she’s also been unable to eat, she hasn’t taken any insulin as directed.

You also note that she’s breathing rapidly and smell a slight sweet/fruity odor. A.M. has a challenge answering questions but keeps asking for water to drink.

You get more information from A.M. and learn

  • She had some readings on her glucometer which were reading ‘high’
  • She vomits almost every time she takes in fluid
  • She hasn’t voided for a day but voided a great deal the day before

  6. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 650 mg orally Q4 hrs PRN
  7. Furosemide (Lasix) 60 mg IV push now
  8. Urinary output every hour

The orders above -- which are questionable related to her condition and which are appropriate?

Instructions:
