Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client scheduled for surgery who is nothing by mouth (NPO) status. Which of the following prescription should the nurse clarify with the primary healthcare physician (PHCP)?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Lispro insulin is a rapid-acting insulin typically administered around mealtimes to manage postprandial glucose levels. Since the client is NPO, they are not eating, so administering lispro insulin could lead to hypoglycemia due to the absence of carbohydrate intake. The nurse should clarify this prescription with the PHCP to ensure safe management of the client’s blood glucose levels during the NPO period. Glargine insulin, a long-acting insulin, is appropriate for basal glucose control and does not require clarification. Vitamin B12 and clonidine are unrelated to food intake and safe for NPO status.
