Mr. Morgan was admitted with a diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) yesterday. His initial blood glucose reading was 740 mg/dL. An infusion of regular insulin was started for glucose management, as well as a normal saline infusion for hydration. His latest blood glucose reading is 230 mg/dL. As the nurse, your next step is to: administer an ampule of 50% dextrose solution. administer long-acting NPH insulin subcutaneously. advance the patient’s diet to an 1800 calorie ADA diet. convert to intravenous fluids containing 5% dextrose.
