How much insulin will you administer at this time?

Answer 1

a.) Answer ;

At 8.00 Am the client sugar value is 384 mg/ dl.

Hence he/she need to be administered with 10 units of insulin.

In the available insulin, per ml contain 100 units, but we want to give only 10 units.

Therefore the insulin of 0.1 ml should be administered.

b). Answer ;

At 2.00 PM, the client has 310 mg / dl
Hence the client need to be administered with 8 units.

If 1 ml contain 100 units, then for 8 units.

It would be 0.08 ml of insulin should be administered.
