Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has diabetes and plans to administer his regular insulin subcutaneously before he eats breakfast at 0800. After checking the client's morning glucose level, which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Give the insulin at 0730. This is the correct option because regular insulin is typically administered 30 minutes before a meal to allow for proper glucose control. Giving the insulin at 0730 aligns with the client's plan to eat breakfast at 0800. Option A is incorrect because giving the insulin an hour before breakfast is too early. Option B is incorrect as it does not ensure the insulin is given in time for proper glucose control. Option C is incorrect as giving insulin after breakfast can lead to hyperglycemia.
Therefore, option D is the most appropriate choice for timely and effective insulin administration in this scenario.
