A patient, diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis, presents with Kussmaul respirations at a rate of 28. A newly licensed nurse asks the patient to try to slow his breathing. What instruction should the preceptor provide?
1. “Keep trying to slow the patient’s respirations because breathing so fast is hard on his heart.”
2. “If he keeps breathing like that he will develop respiratory acidosis.”
3. “Let the patient set his respiratory rate as rapid breathing helps to compensate for his acidosis.”
4. “The patient is breathing deeply to help offset diabetes-induced hypoxemia.”
