Question 1 of 5
A client has been prescribed insulin based on carbohydrate counting adjustments. The carbohydrate ratio is 1:10, the premeal target blood sugar is 110, and the high blood sugar correction factor is 50. The client's premeal blood sugar was 225 and they consumed the following for dinner: 6 ounces baked chicken breast (0 g), 1 cup brown rice (45 g), 1 cup steamed broccoli (12 g), 2 TBS margarine (0 g). How many units of insulin will the nurse administer for the carbohydrates that were consumed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To calculate the insulin dose for carbohydrates, we first need to determine the total grams of carbohydrates consumed. Adding up the carbs from the dinner items: 45g (brown rice) + 12g (broccoli) = 57g.
Then, divide the total grams of carbs by the carbohydrate ratio (1:10): 57g / 10 = 5.7 units of insulin. This is the correct answer (
B).
Choice A (4.5 units) is incorrect because it does not accurately calculate the insulin dose based on the carbohydrate ratio.
Choice C (6.2 units) and
Choice D (7.1 units) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given carbohydrate ratio.
