Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The nurse should not administer insulin if blood glucose levels are lower than 70 mg/dL.
Rationale 2: The insulin can be administered if the blood glucose level is 80 mg/dL.
Rationale 3: The insulin can be administered if the blood glucose level is 90 mg/dL.
Rationale 4: The insulin can be administered if the blood glucose level is 100 mg/dL.
Global Rationale: The nurse should not administer insulin if blood glucose levels are lower than 70 mg/dL. Insulin can be administered at the remaining levels, but close observation of the patient may be necessary especially at the lower ends of the measurements.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Insulin rotation would not prevent systemic absorption.
Rationale 2: Rotation of insulin sites helps to prevent lipodystrophy.
Rationale 3: Rotation of sites could help prevent abscess development, but this is not the primary reason.
Rationale 4: Insulin site rotation does not prevent ineffective dosing.
Global Rationale: Rotation of insulin sites helps to prevent lipodystrophy. This technique may help prevent abscess development, but this is not the primary rationale for its use. It will not prevent systemic absorption or ineffective dosing.
