Answer to Question 1

A
A client with active tuberculosis requires airborne precautions.
A client with active tuberculosis does not require droplet precautions.
Contact precautions are not necessary for the client with active tuberculosis.
Reverse isolation is used to protect the client from the infection source.

Answer to Question 2

B

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.
