Comparing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) to hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome (HHNS) is important for nursing students to understand before exams and the NCLEX.

This video explains the key differences including that DKA occurs due to insulin deficiency, causes metabolic acidosis, manifests with fruity breath, and is treated with insulin administration. In contrast, HHNS is caused by cellular insulin resistance, leads to severe dehydration, causes neurological symptoms like confusion, and is treated with IV fluids and electrolyte replacement. Recognizing the distinguishing clinical features, labs, and treatments is essential to provide proper nursing care for these diabetic emergencies. Reviewing the major differences between DKA vs HHNS will prepare nursing students to correctly answer related questions on exams and the licensure exam.
