A nurse is teaching a client who has type one diabetes mellitus about the peak time of neutral
protamine Hagedorn (NPH) inulin. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an
understanding of the teaching?
A. NPH insulin peaks in 1-5 hours
B. NPH insulin is peakless
C. NPH insulin peaks in 6-14 hours
D. Insulin peaks in 12-24 hours - answer✔✔A. NPH insulin peaks in 1-5 hours
Regular insulin has an onset of 30 to 60 min, peaks in 1 to 5 hr, and lasts up to 10 hr.
B. NPH insulin is peakless
Insulin glargine has an onset of 70 min, it is peakless, and it has a duration of 24 hr
*C. NPH insulin peaks in 6-14 hours*
*NPH insulin has an onset of 60 to 120 min, peaks in 6 to 14 hr, and has a duration of 16 to 24
hr.*
D. Insulin peaks in 12-24 hours

A nurse is teaching a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus about the use of an insulin pump.
Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
A. The pump should remain in place while breathing.
B. Insulin is injected intermittently based on the client's glucose level
C. The pump uses intermediate-acting insulin.
D. The risk for developing DKA can be increased with the use of an insulin pump -
answer✔✔A. The pump should remain in place while bathing.
The pump may disconnect the pump for short periods of time such as bathing and swimming.
B. Insulin is injected intermittently based on the client's glucose level
An insulin pump works by delivering a basal rate of regular insulin all day with the goral
preventing hypo/hyperglycemic episodes
C. The pump uses intermediate-acting insulin.
Insulin pumps use only rapid-acting insulin.
*D. The risk for developing DKA can be increased with the use of an insulin pump*
Malfunction of the pump from low battery power, occlusion of tubing or needles, or lack of
insulin in the pump increases the risk of DKA, particularly if the client is not aware of it.
A nurse is reviewing self-administration of insulin using a pre-filled pen with a client who
started using the pen the previous week. The client asks what can be done to help reduce
injection pain. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client?
A. Agitate the syringe slightly before injection.
B. Store the pens with the needle pointing upward.
