A newly diagnosed diabetic client is 24 hours post-op following abdominal surgery. The 0700 blood glucose level is 200 mg/dl and the nurse administers 4 units of insulin aspart subcutaneously per the prescribed sliding scale. When should the nurse first assess the client for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Assessing the patient for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia at 0730, 30 minutes after insulin administration, is appropriate as insulin aspart is a rapid-acting insulin with an onset of 10-20 minutes and peak action within 1-3 hours.
