The healthcare practitioner observes shift in potassium ion concentration.

  • The patient exhibits a significant extracellular fluid volume deficit, which is typical of diabetic ketoacidosis patients. The majority of these individuals have a 5–10% extracellular fluid volume deficit. This patient's weight has decreased from 72 kg to 68 kg in the past month.
