What type of insulin should be giving 30 to 60 minutes before meals? |
Regular insulin |
|
|
What type of insulin is intermediate-acting? |
NPH insulin |
|
|
What type of insulin is rapid- acting |
Humalog insulin is rapid- acting |
|
|
What are the advantages of fixed combination insulin ? |
Less need for mixing. Decrease number of injections. Available in Vails and pens for administration. Contain both mealtime and basal insulin dosages. Simulate the varying levels of insulin within the body. |
|
|
Humalog U-100 75/25 insulin consists of two types of insulin. How much of each type of insulin is in 20 units of humalog? |
15 units of lispro protamine suspension and 5 units of insulin lispro injection. |
|
|
What do all fixed combination insulins have in common? |
Duration time |
|
|
Which step is preformed prior to withdraw the desires dose of insulin from the vial? |
1.Inject air into the vial equal to the amount of insulin to be withdrawn. 2.Inject air into the vial equal to the volume of insulin to be withdrawn. This is the step performed prior to withdraw the desires dose of insulin from vial. |
|
|
Which types of insulin are always drawn up first when mixing insulin for administration? |
1. Clear to prevent contamination 2. Regular draw up first prevent contamination. 3. Short acting draw up first to prevent contamination. |
|
|
Sequence the steps for mixing insulins. |
1. Cleanse the top of both valves with an alcohol white. 2. Inject air equal to the amount to be withdrawn into the vow of a cloudy insulin first without the needle touching the solution 3. Using the same syringe inject an amount of the air into the regular clearance insulin equal to the amount to be withdrawn 4. Inject or turn the bottle up in the air and draw up the desired amount. 5. Check the syringe for air bubbles if air bubbles are present gently tap the syringe to remove them. 6. Withdraw the desired dosage from the valve of cloudy insulin. |
|
|
Why should insulin vials be roll between the palms and not shaken? |
Shaking the vial produce bubbles. Shaking the vial causing clumping. Shaking the vial breaks down particles. Rolling the vials ensures that it is well mixed. |
|
|
Which type of insulin has no peak? |
Lantus Lantus insulin has no peak and provides 24-hour coverage. |
|
|
What type of instance should be given 5 minutes before meals? |
Humalog insulin Humalog insulispro should be given 5 minutes before meals. |
|
|
Master peak times to the types of insulin. |
Lespro 30 to 90 minutes. Humulin R 2 to 4 hours. Humulin N 8 hours. Lantus no peak. |
|
|
Which term refers to the time that insulin is most effective in lowering blood sugar? |
Peak Peak is the time required for a drug to reach its strongest effect. |
|
|
What are fixed combination and insulin's designed to simulate? |
Varying levels of insulin within the body fixed combination and sins are fast-acting and intermediate acting incidents that stimulate the varying levels of insulin within the body. |
|
|
Consider an old order for 32 units of humulin 50/50 insulin how much incent of each type is present in this humulin? |
16 units of human insulin isophony suspension in 16 units of human insulin injection. |
|
|
Max the onset to the appropriate fix combination insulins. |
Novolin 70/30 30-60 minutes Humalog 75/25 10 -15 minutes NovoLog 70/30 5 -15 minutes |
|
|
Correctly sequence the steps for mixing insulin for this order 20 units of humulin subc 8 units of humulin R subc |
1.Inject 20 units of air into humulin N vowel do not allow the needle to touch the insulin. 2. Inject 8 units of air into the humulin R vial 3. Invert the humulin R vow withdraw 8 units of insulin and withdraw the needle. 4. Insert needle into the humulin N vial. 5. Invert the humulin N vowel in withdrawal 20 units of insulin. 6. Double check the total amount in the syringe is equal to the sum of the two instant orders that is 28 units. |
|
|
When mixing insulin why is regular instant always withdrawn first? |
To avoid contamination the regular infant is a drawn into the syringe first that is clear before cloudy to avoid contamination. |
