A. Initiate fluid replacement therapy

Explanation:

Ketoacidosis occurs when the body fats are broken down rapidly by the liver to release ketones in the blood.

Excess of ketones in the blood makes it acidic and as a result the tissues get damaged and dehydrated.

In case it is left untreated it can be life threatening.

Ketoacidosis is generally observed in people with diabetes and this condition is often treated by administering insulin in the body.

However, the fluid replacement therapy should be the first step to treat this condition because, the body must not go into dehydrated state and the volume of fluid in body should be maintained to circulate insulin properly.

Food is absorbed by diffusion and active transport. Villi on the walls of the ileum helps this process, since it can increase its surface area and provide a good blood supply, thus increase the rate of absorption.

Note that water can also be absorbed in the large intestine, those water absorbed there are the ones that cannot be absorbed in the ileum.
However, not all water is absorbed as we can notice that faeces are wet.

Explanation:

Component      Calculation       Volume of Stock to be added

FBS:             100*V1 = 10*25                  2.5 mL

Glutamine:     200*V1 = 2*25                  0.25 mL

Penicillin:      10000V1 = 100*25          0.25 mL

Streptomycin:     10000V1 = 100*25            0.25 mL

NB: C1 = Stock Concentration; V1 = Volume of stock required; C2 = Final concentration required; V2 = Final volume required
