Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Use caution when mixing types of insulin. Administer mixtures of regular and NPH or regular and lente insulins within 15 minutes after combining them to ensure appropriate suspension and therapeutic effect.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Ensure that a cholinesterase inhibitor is readily available to overcome excessive neuromuscular blockade caused by nondepolarizing NMJ blockers. Although xanthines reverse NMJ blocking effects, they would not be administered for that purpose because their effects are not predictable. Halothane and aminoglycosides enhance paralytic effects of NMJ blockers.
