Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
With regular insulin before meals, it is very important that the medication be injected 30 to 45 minutes before meals so that the insulin is available when blood sugar increases after meals.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Epinephrine is often administered during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The most important action of epinephrine during cardiac arrest is constriction of peripheral blood vessels, which shunts blood to the central circulation and increases blood flow to the heart and brain. The goal of epinephrine administration is not increased contractility or dopamine release.
