Answer to Question 1

3
NPH insulin is usually given twice daily and is mixed with regular insulin to mimic the body's own insulin pattern. Mixing two insulins is not done to make it easier for the client to administer the insulin, to reduce the client's appetite, or to help reduce the client's body weight.

Answer to Question 2

1
In the case of parenchymal lacerations to the kidney, the client should be hospitalized, kept on bed rest, and provided with antibiotics until the urine clears. Restricting fluids and encouraging early ambulation would not be appropriate for this client's injuries. A nephrectomy is not indicated for this type of kidney trauma.
