Syringe choices: 3 mL, 1 mL, 100 unit insulin syringe, or 50 unit insulin syringe

Answer 1

Ans) 9) Order: Humulin R 35 units

Available: Humulin R U-100

- U-100 insulins, including Humulin R, contain 100 units per mL. It’s important to make sure you have the correct one.

- Humulin R U-100 is for injection under the skin. It should not be injected into the muscle. Doses of insulin are measured in units. With Humulin R U-100, it is important to use a syringe that is marked for U-100 insulins.

As 100 units = 1 ml

35 units = x

x = 35/100 = 0.35 ml

Syringe chosen is 1 ml.
