Question 1 of 5

A nurse administers subcutaneous NPH insulin at 0700 to a child who has diabetes. At which of the following times should the nurse observe for hypoglycemia caused by the onset of the medication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 1000. NPH insulin typically starts working within 1 to 2 hours after administration, peaks in 4 to 12 hours, and lasts up to 24 hours. Since the nurse administered the insulin at 0700, the onset of hypoglycemia should be observed around 0900 to 1100.
Choice A (715) is too soon for onset.
Choice B (800) falls within the expected onset time, but it may be too early for hypoglycemia.
Choice C (900) is also within the expected onset time frame, but waiting until 1000 (
Choice
D) allows for a more accurate observation of hypoglycemia as the peak effect of NPH insulin is approaching.
