a. What is diabetic ketoacidosis? (Connects toChapter 16)
b. Does Mrs. Jordan likely have type I or type II diabetes mellitus? Explain. (Connects to Chapter 16)
c. What has likely happened to the pH of her blood, and why? (Connects toChapters 16 and 19)
d. Explain why she is hyperventilating.

JH, a 53 year-old female, had not been feeling well lately and suddenly started to feel acutely worse. Shestarted to have shortness of breath, and was experiencing an irregular heartbeat, chest pain, muscleweakness, and feelings of severe nausea. She called 911 and was taken to the hospital where bloodsamples were drawn.
JH was diagnosed with hyperkalemia and ordered IV fluids. The IV fluids she was given contained calciumgluconate and insulin. Her potassium levels were monitored over a 24-hour period and were assummarized in Table 2 (attached)
Using Table 2, which shows the patient’s plasma K+ concentrations over a 24-hour period, graph thechanges of K+ over time with computer software like Excel (not hand-drawn). Make sure to include an appropriate figure caption to explain what you haveobserved and follow scientific best practices for creating your graph. (You may consult graphs in publishedphysiology articles for inspiration!)

- Jane’s doctor tells her that her hemoglobin and hematocrit are fine but her iron stores are a little low she recommends that Jane increases her intake of iron-rich foods and suggests she add a glass of OJ when she is eating breakfast cereal. However, she is diabetic and remembers being told that she is supposed to limit sugary foods like juice. Why did the doctor recommend orange juice with the cereal? Given what you know about diabetes, would you advise Jane to consume the OJ as recommended? Explain Would it be a good idea for Jane to go ahead and take iron supplements at this point? Why or why not? *Two months later, Jane returns to her doctor complaining of symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, worsening fatigue, cold intolerance, and irritability.
