Your patient has an order for Carbohydrate Based Insulin. At 0730, their blood glucose was 308. At 0800 they have breakfast and ate 63 grams of carbohydrates. The order is to administer 1 unit insulin per 20 grams carbohydrates consumed. How much insulin do you administer?

• 15.15 units

• 12 units

• 15 units

• 3 units

Answer explanation

based on the sliding scale, patient will receive 12 units correction insulin

then add in the insulin based on the carbs they ate. 63/20 = 3.15

12 + 3.15 = 15.15 which rounds to 15

Your patient has an order for Carbohydrate Based Insulin. At 0730, their blood glucose was 156 mg/dL. At 0800 they have breakfast and ate 37 grams of carbohydrates. The order is to administer 1 unit insulin per 10 grams carbohydrates consumed. How much insulin do you administer.

• 4 units

• 7.7 units

• 8 units

• 3.7 units

Answer explanation

based on the sliding scale, patient will receive 4 units correction insulin
