Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Combination products are convenient because the patient does not have to mix insulin, but the products depend on individual needs, since the doses are fixed. They are not used for patients with insulin resistance. Patients must continue to rotate injection sites. They do not require refrigeration after first use.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The patient is symptomatic and has hypoglycemia. The nurse should give orange juice. Glucagon is given for patients unable to ingest carbohydrates. The kitchen should be notified, and bedside glucose testing should be performed, but only after the patient is given carbohydrates.
