The LPN/LVN is assigned to assist in the care of a patient who has type 1 diabetes. The
patient receives regular insulin coverage on a sliding scale. The health-care provider
(HCP) prescribes 2 units for blood sugar (BS) level of 150 to 185; 4 units for BS of 186 to
215; and 6 units for BS of 216 to 225. Which dose would the LPN/LVN give if the patient's
blood glucose is 149?
1.
0 units
2.
2 units
3.
4 units
4.
6 units1
When the HCP orders sliding-scale coverage, the insulin is administered for specifically
ordered levels. At 149, no insulin coverage is required.
A patient is receiving care following a closed head injury. The LPN/LVN observes an
excessively high amount of urine output and the patient appears dehydrated. What type
of disorder would the patient's injury be related to?
1.
The posterior portion of the pituitary gland is secreting too much hormone.
2.
Secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) affects the permeability of the kidneys.
3.
,Trauma to the posterior pituitary gland is causing a hormone elevation.
4.
The ADH level is providing action to decrease cardiac workload.
3
The posterior pituitary gland secretes ADH. Undersecretion can occur post-brain injury,
which leads to diabetes insipidus. Far too much fluid will be lost within the urine and
dehydration will set in.

healing and the onset of infection. The patient should be followed-up as an outpatient
closely to watch for these side effects.
