Answer:

The insulin must be administered.

Explanation:

In the given question the Mary has the acidosis that is the level of pH in the blood have dropped below 7.  

It is also provided that the smell of her breath is fruity due to the accumulation of fruity smell molecules called ketones which could be the result of the ketosis. Ketosis occurs when the cellular respiration uses fat as a substrate instead of the carbohydrate. This shows Mary has a condition called ketoacidosis.

The increased level of the glucose in the blood shows that the glucose is not absorbed by the cell which involves the insulin therefore the doctor should administer the insulin drug to the patient.

Thus, insulin is the correct answer.
