Simulated
A client takes the morning dose of 10 units of insulin aspart at 0800 . At what time interval would the nurse most likely see hypoglycemia?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
1030-1130. Insulin aspart a rapid-acting insulin peaks in 1-2 hours making hypoglycemia most likely during this window after an 0800 dose. Other time intervals are either too early or beyond the peak effect.
