Slow, shallow breathing
Rationale

Jeff York, age 10 years, was diagnosed with type I diabetes mellitus 4 years ago. He received an insulin pump, and his diabetes was controlled well until about 6 months ago. After he made the school basketball team, Jeff got indifferent about monitoring his blood glucose levels while at school. He even removed his pump a few times. Today he arrives at the pediatric emergency department via ambulance after collapsing at practice. He is disoriented, has a high respiratory rate, and is complaining of abdominal pain. The healthcare provider orders an immediate arterial blood gas (ABG). What do you anticipate the results to be?
