1. Question
A client received 20 units of Humulin N insulin subcutaneously at 08:00. At what time should the nurse plan to assess the client for a hypoglycemic reaction?
Correct
Answer: Option 3 is the corrrect answer.
Rationale: Humulin N is an intermediate-acting insulin. The onset of action is 60 to 120 minutes, it peaks in 6 to 14 hours, and the duration of action is 16 to 24 hours. Hypoglycemic reactions most likely occur during peak time.
Test-Taking Strategy: Focus on the subject, characteristics of Humulin N insulin, and use knowledge regarding the onset, peak, and duration of action. Recalling that it is an intermediate-acting insulin and recalling that peak action is between 6 and 14 hours will direct you to the correct option.
