Question 1 of 5
The nurse is teaching a client with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) about the onset, peak, and duration of a new prescription for glargine insulin. If the insulin is administered at 0800, when is the client most likely to experience hypoglycemia?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Glargine insulin has no pronounced peak, providing steady coverage for 24 hours, minimizing hypoglycemia risk at specific times. Midmorning, midafternoon, or midnight are not tied to glargine’s profile.
