Answer to Question 1

Feedback
A Regular insulin has an onset in 30 minutes.
B Regular insulin reaches its peak in 2 to 3 hours after administration. If the patient received regular insulin at 7:00 a.m., the nurse should be alert for a possible hypoglycemic reaction from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
C Intermediate-acting insulin (e.g., NPH insulin), not regular insulin, would peak in 6 to 12 hours.
D The patient would not be at risk for a hypoglycemic reaction from regular insulin 13 hours after administration. Long-acting insulin would have an effect this much later after administration.
