Answer to Question 1

Humalin insulin is a biosynethic human insulin (genetically engineered by recombinant DNA technology). Humalin N is a long acting insulin that is active in the body for approximately 24 hours. Humalin R is a rapid acting insulin and is active for only a few hours.

Answer to Question 2

wt = 98 lbs/2.2 = 44.5 kg ht = 62 x 2.54 = 157.5 cm

BEE = 655 + 9.6 x wt + 1.7 x ht - 4.7 x age
= 655 + 9.6 x 44.5 + 1.7 x 157.5 - 4.7 x 27
= 655 + 427.2 + 267.8 - 126.9
= 1223.1

Stress Factor: 1.3 = 1223 x 1.5 = 1589 or 1600 while in the hospital. Activity of closer to 1.5 would be more accurate when she gets home.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
