A Patient Recovering from Diabetic Ketoacidosis Asks the Nurse How

A patient recovering from diabetic ketoacidosis asks the nurse how acidosis occurs.What is the best response?

A) Excess glucose in the blood is metabolized by the liver into acetone,which is acidic in nature.
B) An insulin deficit promotes metabolism of fat stores,which produces large amounts of acidic ketones.
C) Insufficient insulin leads to cellular starvation,and as cells rupture,they release organic acids into the blood.
D) When an insulin deficit causes hyperglycemia,then proteins are deaminated by the liver,causing acidic by-products.
