Module 06 Written Assignment – Diabetes Case Study
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 sheâ€s been ill and unable to keep any food down. Sheâ€s only tolerated sips of water and juices. Since sheâ€s also been unable to eat, she hasnâ€t taken any insulin as directed. While helping A.M. from the lobby to the examining room you note that sheâ€s unsteady, note that her skin in warm and flushed and that sheâ€s drowsy. You also note that sheâ€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 ‘highâ€
She vomits almost every time she takes in fluid
She hasnâ€t voided for a day but voided a great deal the day before
Sheâ€s been sleeping long hours and finally woke up this morning and decided to seek care
