Patient Profile

Tony Chadwick is a 16-year-old African American male admitted to ICU from the urgent care with newly diagnosed type 1 DM with DKA. His mother took him to the local urgent care with a 2-day history of vomiting and abdominal pain. Tony also complained of thirst, blurry vision, and fatigue. His mother smelled a fruity odor on his breath this morning. The nurse at the urgent care clinic found that Tony had a blood glucose level of 520 mg/dL and urine positive for ketones. Tony was immediately transferred to the local hospital, where he was admitted to ICU. He is in the 11th grade and was doing well in school until about 2 weeks ago, when he started to become easily fatigued and irritable. His mother thought that he was just staying up too late and not getting enough sleep. Tony has been well except for an upper respiratory viral infection about 2 months ago that kept him home from school for 3 days.

On arrival in the ICU, Tony is drowsy but wakes to verbal stimuli. He complains of nausea and is vomiting green-colored bile in small amounts. He complains of abdominal pain and a need to urinate.

His mother accompanies him and expresses fear that he will not survive this acute episode. She was told at the urgent care clinic that Tony has diabetes, but she does not believe it. She says no one in her family or her husband has diabetes.
