ATI Pharmacology NRSG 106 Fletcher Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who has a long history of diabetes mellitus and is being admitted to the emergency department confused, flushed, and with an acetone odor on the breath. Diabetic ketoacidosis is suspected. The nurse should anticipate using which of the following types of insulin to treat this client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Regular insulin. In the case of diabetic ketoacidosis, which is characterized by high blood sugar levels and the presence of ketones, regular insulin is the most appropriate choice due to its rapid onset of action. Regular insulin can help lower blood glucose levels quickly and effectively, thus addressing the acute situation. Insulin glargine (choice
A) and insulin detemir (choice
C) are long-acting insulins that are not suitable for rapid correction of hyperglycemia. NPH insulin (choice
D) has an intermediate onset of action and is not as rapid as regular insulin in this scenario.
Therefore, regular insulin is the best choice for treating diabetic ketoacidosis promptly.
