The nurse is caring for a client with a serum blood glucose of 855 mg/dL who is to receive a continuous infusion of prescribed regular insulin 15 units/hr, IV. The pharmacy delivers regular insulin as 100 units in 100 ml of normal saline. How many milliliters per hour should the nurse administer to the client? Enter numeric value only.

A. Foot care is crucial for individuals with diabetes due to the increased risk of neuropathy and poor circulation. Daily inspection for cuts, blisters, or other injuries is vital to prevent infections and complications, such as diabetic ulcers or amputations.
B. Heating pads should not be used by people with diabetes, as they may not be able to feel the heat due to diabetic neuropathy. This increases the risk of burns and injury. It is safer to use other methods for warming hands and feet, such as wearing socks or gloves.
C. People with diabetes are at an increased risk for infections, including pneumonia. The pneumonia vaccine (PPSV23 and/or PCV13) is recommended for individuals with diabetes to help reduce the risk of pneumonia. This statement is false.
D. People with diabetes should have regular eye examinations, but they should be scheduled annually, not every 5 years. Diabetes can lead to diabetic retinopathy, which can cause vision loss if not monitored and treated promptly. Annual eye exams are recommended to detect any changes early.

A. Significant impairments from dyskinesia are typically a side effect of long-term levodopa therapy, not an expected outcome following deep brain stimulation. DBS is intended to reduce dyskinesias.
B. The presence of significant tremors post-procedure would indicate that the DBS may not be effectively managing the Parkinson's symptoms. Successful DBS typically reduces tremors.
C. One of the benefits of DBS is that it often allows for a reduction in the dosage of levodopa, not an increase.
D. Improving tremor and rigidity is an expected outcome of DBS. This surgical procedure delivers electrical impulses to targeted areas in the brain, which helps regulate abnormal brain activity and significantly reduces motor symptoms such as tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia in clients with Parkinson’s Disease.
