Answer 6

Correct Answers:

Regular insulin 8 units subcutaneous before meals

Rationale :

⚠️ Regular insulin is usually prescribed with a specific schedule and should be clearly timed in relation to meals and blood glucose monitoring.

⚠️ “Before meals” is incomplete because it does not state which meals or include enough detail for safe administration.

⚠️ Medication prescriptions must be complete, specific, and unambiguous before the nurse administers them.

⚠️ The other prescriptions are written in standard dosage formats that are generally complete.

⚠️ The nurse should contact the provider for clarification of the insulin prescription.
