The physician has prescribed NovoLog (aspart) insulin for a client with diabetes mellitus. Which statement indicates that the client knows when the onset of the insulin occurs?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
NovoLog (insulin aspart) has a rapid onset of 10-20 minutes. Eating breakfast within 10 minutes of taking the insulin aligns with its onset to prevent hypoglycemia. The other statements do not specifically address the timing of insulin onset.
