Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has diabetes and a new prescription for 6 units of regular insulin and 10 units of NPH insulin subcutaneously at breakfast daily. What is the total number of units of insulin that the nurse should prepare in the insulin syringe?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 16 units.
To calculate the total number of units, add the prescribed doses of regular and NPH insulin together (6 units + 10 units = 16 units). This is the total amount of insulin the nurse should prepare in the insulin syringe for the client's breakfast dose.
Explanation for other choices:
A: 28 units - Incorrect. The sum of 6 units of regular insulin and 10 units of NPH insulin is 16 units, not 28 units.
B: 14 units - Incorrect. The sum of 6 units of regular insulin and 10 units of NPH insulin is 16 units, not 14 units.
C: 42 units - Incorrect. The sum of 6 units of regular insulin and 10 units of NPH insulin is 16 units, not 42 units.
