Answer to Question 1

Insulin bottles should not be shaken but rolled to make sure the precipitate is mixed. The long-acting insulin is cloudy. The insulin should be at room temperature for administration, and the blood glucose level should be checked prior to administration.

Answer to Question 2

Elimination of 30 mL per hour of urine is considered to be an approximate estimate of renal function. A urine output less than 30 mL per hour indicates renal failure. A urine output of greater than 40 mL per hour is considered within normal limits.
