Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client receiving regular insulin prescribed per a sliding scale. If a dose of regular insulin is administered at 0730, which additional nursing action is indicated for this client?

A. Ensure that the client eats breakfast. B. Provide a mid-afternoon snack for the client. C. Assess the client for hypoglycemia around 1500. D. Perform a glucometer reading at 1000.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Regular insulin peaks 2–3 hours after administration, risking hypoglycemia if not paired with food. Ensuring breakfast prevents this. Snacks, late assessments, or early glucose checks are less critical.
