This insulin is given at 0700. Its peak is approximately 2–5 hours later. What insulin are you thinking?
What is regular insulin?
This diabetic emergency is most strongly associated with Type 1 diabetes.
What is DKA?
This is the crisis BP threshold emphasized by your professor.
What is greater than 180 systolic and/or greater than 120 diastolic?
This adrenal disorder is caused by deficient cortisol.
What is Addison's disease?
Mild pediatric dehydration is approximately this percentage of body-weight loss.
What is 5–6%?
This insulin is given at 0900. Hypoglycemia is most likely during the afternoon because its peak occurs 4–12 hours after administration.
What is NPH?
This diabetic emergency is most strongly associated with Type 2 diabetes and produces profound dehydration and neurologic changes.
What is HHS?
Severe BP without acute target-organ damage is called this.
What is hypertensive urgency?
In Addison's, everything trends low except this electrolyte.
What is potassium, which trends high?
Moderate pediatric dehydration is approximately this percentage.
What is 7–9%?
This insulin is given at noon. At 1330, the patient becomes shaky and diaphoretic after barely eating lunch.
What is lispro/Humalog?
This acid-producing substance is generated when fat is broken down because of insufficient insulin.
What are ketones?
Severe BP plus acute target-organ damage is called this.
What is hypertensive emergency?
In Cushing's, everything trends high except this electrolyte.
What is potassium, which trends low?
Severe pediatric dehydration begins above this percentage.
What is greater than 9%?
This insulin has been given at bedtime, but you cannot identify a specific peak time.
What is glargine/Lantus?
These deep, rapid respirations are associated with severe metabolic acidosis in DKA.
What are Kussmaul respirations?
New confusion, seizures, and visual changes in a severely hypertensive patient suggest acute damage to this organ system.
What is the brain/CNS?
This condition can occur when an Addison's patient experiences major physiologic stress such as infection or surgery.
What is an Addisonian crisis?
This finding is especially useful in an infant when assessing dehydration.
What is a sunken fontanel?
This insulin was given at 0900. At 1600, the patient is at increased risk for hypoglycemia.
What is NPH?
In a profoundly dehydrated, hypotensive DKA patient, this fluid is emphasized first in your class treatment sequence.
What is 0.9% normal saline?
This IV medication is associated with management of hypertensive emergencies in your class.
What is sodium nitroprusside?
These are the two major treatment concepts to think about in an Addisonian crisis.
What are corticosteroids and fluids?
A child with severe dehydration should receive this type of fluid for an IV bolus.
What is an isotonic fluid such as 0.9% NS or LR?
