Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The most rapid-acting insulin, Lispro, peaks within 1 to 2 hours after administration. The peak time of insulin is when patients would most likely exhibit symptoms of hypoglycemia, particularly if they have inadequate dietary intake. The time of 19:00 would be past the peak of action and after signs of hypoglycemia would have appeared. The times of 01:30 and 06:00 are long after the peak of action and the time when signs of hypoglycemia would have appeared.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
It is important that bulk-forming laxatives be dispersed in a full glass of water or juice before administration. High-fiber foods should not be limited. Psyllium may be mixed in juice for administration. Fat soluble vitamin deficiency is not a common adverse effect.
