Question 1 of 5

A nurse is collecting data from a client who has diabetes mellitus. The client is confused, flushed, and has an acetone odor on their breath. The nurse should anticipate a prescription for which of the following types of insulin to treat the client.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Regular insulin. In this scenario, the client is showing symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis (DK
A), which is characterized by confusion, flushing, and acetone breath odor. Regular insulin is a short-acting insulin that is used to rapidly lower blood glucose levels in emergency situations like DKA. It acts quickly to reduce ketone production and stabilize the client's condition. NPH, Lispro, and Glargine insulins are not appropriate for treating DKA as they have different onset and duration of action, which are not suitable for managing acute hyperglycemia and ketosis.
