Walden University - NURS 6512 Latest Quiz 3 With Answers and Explanations (2021) Exam Prep Guide Question 1 A nurse is instructing a patient in the administration of regular insulin by the subcutane... ous route. Which of the following strategies would the nurse suggest if the goal is to promote absorption of the regular insulin? Response Feedback: To promote the absorption of regular insulin, one anatomic area should be selected for subcutaneous injections. Serial locations within that anatomic area are then chosen to rotate the exact injection site. Injection sites should not be rotated by using different anatomic areas each day, because this would substantially change the absorption of the insulin and the patient's blood glucose levels. Using one injection site regularly may lead to lipodystrophy. Regular insulin is administered about 30 to 60 minutes before eating a meal, not after.  Question 2 The nurse is conducting a medication reconciliation of a new resident of a long-term care facility. The nurse notes that the resident takes allopurinol on a daily basis for the treatment of gout. What is the primary purpose of this drug? Response Feedback: Uricosuric drugs such as allopurinol help to balance urate levels and thus prevent gout attacks. They do not influence the remodeling of synovial membrane, provide analgesia, or affect the metabolism of purines. [Show More]
