DKA doesn’t show up loud at first.
It slips in quietly, looking like “holiday tired,” skipped insulin, or just feeling off.
 
DKA at the Christmas Party walks you through diabetic ketoacidosis step-by-step using a culturally familiar, story-based approach that actually sticks. From insulin not opening the door, to ketones taking over the house, to red flags that mean call EMS now! This series breaks DKA down in a way nursing school never did.
 
Inside this series, you’ll learn:
What DKA really is and how it starts
Why glucose stays high but cells are starving
How fat breakdown and ketones spiral out of control
The difference between early symptoms vs true red flags
NCLEX-priority DKA management (order matters!)
High-yield NCLEX-style questions with clear rationales
 
This is not just pathophysiology.
This is clinical judgment, NCLEX thinking, and real-world recognition wrapped in a story you won’t forget.
 
Perfect for:
Nursing students
New grads
Nurses who want DKA to finally make sense
 
 
Clinicals for the Culture™
Because understanding saves lives .. and memorization alone won’t.
