Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has diabetes and a new prescription for 16 units of regular insulin and 32 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?

Your Answer:

Correct Answer: 48 units

Rationale: The correct answer is 48 units.
To prepare the insulin syringe, the nurse should add the prescribed units of regular insulin (16 units) and NPH insulin (32 units) together. 16 units + 32 units = 48 units. This total of 48 units should be drawn up in the insulin syringe for administration. This ensures the client receives the correct dosage of both insulins at breakfast.

Choice A is incorrect because it does not reflect the total sum of both regular and NPH insulin units.

Choices B to G are also incorrect as they do not calculate the total units needed for the client's prescription. It is essential for the nurse to accurately calculate and prepare the total number of units to provide safe and effective care for the client with diabetes.
