Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. In 15 to 30 minutes:This is the onset time for regular insulin, not the peak. Blood sugar monitoring during this period may not yet reveal the full effect of the insulin.

B. In 1 to 2 hours:This is too early for the peak of regular insulin. Hypoglycemia risk is lower during this period compared to the 2 to 4-hour peak window.

C. In 4 to 6 hours:This is nearing the end of the action duration for regular insulin, so monitoring blood sugar at this time would be less effective for identifying hypoglycemia risk at the peak.

D. In 2 to 4 hours:This is the peak action time for regular insulin, when blood glucose should be monitored closely for potential hypoglycemia.

A. The patient uses OTC drugs prophylactically B. The patient stops taking the drug when he or she begins to feel better C. The patient switches to multiple drug therapy from single drug therapy D. The patient increases the drug dosage when he or she perceives that the therapeutic effect of the drug is slowing down.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. The patient uses OTC drugs prophylactically: OTC (over-the-counter) medications used appropriately shouldn't directly cause microbial repopulation.
B. The patient stops taking the drug when he or she begins to feel better: This is the most concerning habit. Stopping antibiotics early allows susceptible microbes to survive and multiply, potentially leading to a recurrent infection.
C. The patient switches to multiple drug therapy from single drug therapy: This might be done under a doctor's supervision for complex infections, and wouldn't necessarily promote repopulation.
D. The patient increases the drug dosage when he or she perceives that the therapeutic effect is slowing down: Increasing the dosage without consulting a doctor is not recommended, but it wouldn't necessarily cause repopulation if the original dose was effective.
