3,2,4,5,1

Global Rationale: Insulin lispro (Humalog) has an onset of 515 minutes. Insulin glulisine (Apidra) has an onset of 1530 minutes. Regular insulin (Humulin R) has an onset of 3060 minutes. Insulin isophane (NPH) has an onset of 12 hours. Insulin detemir (Levemir) has an onset that is gradual over 24 hours.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale 1:Is your child having problems at school? is incorrect because although school problems could be related to insomnia, the nurse should assess for side effects of the medication.
Rationale 2:There is no relationship between the side effect of insomnia and the intake of food.
Rationale 3:Sleep apnea is uncommon in children.
Rationale 4: Stimulants such as methylphenidate cause insomnia. It is important for the nurse to know when the drug is taken. Methylphenidate should be taken early in the day to prevent insomnia.
