Which is a rapid-acting insulin with an onset of action of less than 15 minutes?
A. Insulin glargine (Lantus)
B. Insulin aspart (NovoLog)
C. Insulin detemir (Levemir)
D. Regular insulin (Humulin R) - Answer B. Insulin aspart (NovoLog) Correct
Insulin aspart is a rapid-acting insulin. Insulin glargine and insulin detemir are long-acting insulins.
Regular insulin is short acting.
Which long-acting insulin mimics natural, basal insulin with no peak action and a duration of 24 hours?
A. Insulin glargine (Lantus)
B. Insulin glulisine (Apidra)
C. Regular insulin
(Humulin R)
D. NPH insulin - Answer (Lantus) Correct
Insulin glargine has a duration of action of 24 hours with no peaks, mimicking the natural, basal insulin
secretion of the pancreas.
Which insulin can be administered by continuous intravenous (IV) infusion?
A. Insulin glargine (Lantus)
B. Insulin aspart (Novolog)
C. Insulin detemir (Levemir)
, D. Regular insulin (Humulin R) - Answer A. Regular insulin (Humulin R) Correct
Regular insulin is the only insulin used for IV therapy.
Assuming the patient eats breakfast at 8:30 AM, lunch at noon, and dinner at 6:00 PM, he or she is at
highest risk of hypoglycemia after an 8:00 AM dose of NPH insulin at what time?
A. 10:00 AM
B. 2:00 PM
C. 5:00 PM
D. 8:00 PM - Answer C. 5:00 PM Correct
Breakfast eaten at 8:30 AM would cover the onset of NPH insulin, and lunch will cover the 2 PM time
frame. However, if the patient does not eat a mid-afternoon snack, the NPH insulin may be peaking just
before dinner without sufficient glucose on hand to prevent hypoglycemia.
The nurse is preparing a patient for a computed tomography scan using iodine contrast media. Which
medication should the nurse question if prescribed one day before the scheduled procedure?
A. Acarbose (Precose)
B. Pioglitazone (Actos)
C. Repaglinide (Prandin)
D. Metformin (Glucophage) Correct - Answer A. Metformin (Glucophage) Correct
The concurrent use of metformin with iodinated (iodine-containing) radiologic contrast media has been
associated with both acute renal failure and lactic acidosis. Therefore, metformin should be discontinued
the day of the test and for at least 48 hours after the patient undergoes any radiologic study that
requires the use of such contrast media.
Which oral hypoglycemic drug has a quick onset and short duration of action, enabling the patient to
take the medication 30 minutes before eating and skip the dose if he or she does not eat?
