Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,5
Rationale: Maintaining prescribed administration times is important, as they follow the normal body release of cortisol. Abruptly discontinuing a steroid is not recommended. Giving injections when unable to take by mouth and during emergencies is important to maintain cortisol levels. Higher, not lower, doses are needed during illness.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Rapid-acting insulin peaks 3090 minutes after administration. An injection given at 0800 would peak around 0930.
