b. Glargine (Lantus)
c. Detemir (Levemir)
d. NPH (Humulin N) - ANSWER-ANS: A
Rapid- or short-acting insulin is used for mealtime coverage
for patients receiving intensive insulin therapy.
Which information will the nurse include when teaching a 50-year-

b. Glyburide stimulates insulin production and release from the
pancreas.
c. Glyburide should be taken even if the morning blood glucose
level is low.

contrast media. - ANSWER-ANS: B
The sulfonylureas stimulate the production and release of

The nurse has been teaching a patient with type 2 diabetes about

sugar."
d. "My diabetes won't cause complications because I don't need
insulin." - ANSWER-ANS: D
The patient should understand that type 2 diabetes places
the patient at risk for many complications and that good
glucose control is as important when taking oral agents as
when using insulin.
When a patient who takes metformin (Glucophage) to manage
type 2 diabetes develops an allergic rash from an unknown
cause, the health care provider prescribes prednisone
(Deltasone). The nurse will anticipate that the patient may

c. require administration of insulin while taking prednisone.
d. have rashes caused by metformin-prednisone interactions. -
ANSWER-ANS: C
Glucose levels increase when patients are taking
corticosteroids, and insulin may be required to control blood
glucose.
A hospitalized diabetic patient received 38 U of NPH insulin at
7:00 AM. At 1:00 PM, the patient has been away from the nursing
unit for 2 hours, missing the lunch delivery while awaiting a chest
x-ray. To prevent hypoglycemia, the best action by the nurse is to
