Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Insulin lispro reaches its peak action in 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. Therefore, the client's greatest risk for hypoglycemia would be during this time or about 9 a.m. Onset of action occurs in 5 to 10 minutes, so the drug would begin being effective at this time.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Meglitinides are contraindicated in clients with diabetic ketoacidosis and severe endocrine disease. Thiazolidinediones are contraindicated in clients with severe heart failure and used with caution in clients with kidney disease, severe heart failure, and liver disease.
