Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. An increase in heart rate does not directly affect hemoglobin levels; this option is incorrect.
B. A higher heart rate decreases diastolic filling time, as there is less time for the heart to fill between beats, which can lead to reduced stroke volume.
C. An increased heart rate does not inherently increase stroke volume; in fact, at very high rates, stroke volume can decrease due to reduced filling time.
D. The significant increase in heart rate to 164 beats/min can lead to decreased cardiac output due to compromised diastolic filling and reduced stroke volume.

A. 3-mL syringe B. U-100 syringe C. Needleless syringe D. Tuberculin syringe

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. A 3-mL syringe is not appropriate for administering U-500 insulin, as the concentration may not allow for accurate dosing at such a small volume.
B. A U-100 syringe is designed for U-100 insulin and would not provide accurate measurement for U-500 insulin.
C. A needleless syringe may be useful in certain contexts, but it does not specifically provide the necessary precision for insulin dosage.
D. A tuberculin syringe is suitable for administering small doses (like 0.3 mL) and provides more accurate measurement for high-concentration insulin such as U-500.
