“…Conventionally, DKA is associated with type 1 DM, but physiological stressors like infection and trauma can substantially increase the risk of DKA in other forms of DM. The overall incidence of DKA is less than four confirmed/probable cases per 1000 patient years [ 3 ]. DKA is a complex metabolic disorder secondary to absolute or relative insulin deficiency with various metabolic derangements.…”

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disease primarily associated with elevated blood glucose levels in the body. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most feared acute presentation of diabetes mellitus (DM) in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) is a relatively rare complication of DM in which the blood glucose levels are usually less than 250 mg/dl with an elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis. It can be a diagnostic challenge due to normal blood glucose levels and often can be overlooked. Physicians should be aware of EDKA; prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical in the timely management of the condition to prevent complications. We present a case of EDKA in a 74-year-old female precipitated by a urinary tract infection which was identified and treated promptly with insulin and dextrose infusion. In addition to that, an important difference between British and American guidelines has been highlighted.

A virtual-reality-simulation-based nursing education program incorporating an information processing model helps nursing students develop their learned knowledge as nursing behavior and develop their ability to cope with complex clinical challenges. The purpose of this study is to develop a nursing education program using an immersive virtual reality simulation app for clinical situations based on an information processing model and identify the effects. A non-quantitative control group pretest–post-test design was employed. The programs were developed using the ADDIE model and an information processing model. In order to verify the effectiveness of the program, six adult nursing learning issues were taught to the experimental group over 6 weeks. The nursing education program in this study provides comprehensive experiential learning through advanced virtual simulation, significantly enhancing nursing students’ performance confidence, critical-thinking abilities, and problem-solving skills across a wide range of clinical scenarios. By repeatedly engaging with diverse learning topics related to adult nursing, this program not only equips students with essential practical skills but also contributes to the overall improvement of patient safety and the quality of medical care.
