Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with diabetes mellitus who is prescribed regular insulin via a sliding scale. After administering the correct dose at 0715, the nurse should ensure the client receives breakfast at which of the following times?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 730. After administering regular insulin, it is crucial to ensure the client receives breakfast within 30 minutes to an hour to prevent hypoglycemia. Breakfast at 730 allows adequate time for the insulin to start working before the client consumes food.
Choice B (745) is too late, increasing the risk of hypoglycemia.
Choice C (815) is too delayed and may cause an imbalance in blood sugar levels.
Choice D (720) is too soon after administering insulin, increasing the risk of hypoglycemia.
