Question 1

What is the best strategy for preventing hypoglycemia?

Answer 1

A. True

Everyone who takes insulin (by injection or insulin pump) should keep a glucagon kit on hand in case a severe low occurs.

Question 2

What type of insulin is used for insulin pump therapy?

Answer 2

B. Rapid-acting (U100) insulin

When your body does not have enough insulin, glucose cannot move into the cells and must stay in the blood and interstitial fluid. This causes blood glucose levels to become high and the cells starve for energy.

Question 3

The warning signs of DKA are similar to the flu or stomach virus, therefore anytime a student has nausea and vomiting you should:

Answer 3

A. Monitor the student’s glucose levels closely, check for ketones, and follow student’s DMF

Diabetes Team SY 24-2s

Question 4

What is the best strategy for preventing hypoglycemia?

Answer 4

A. Everyone who takes insulin (by injection or insulin pump) should keep a glucagon kit on hand in case a severe low occurs.

Example sentence: Diabetes Training Exam - Nurse Refresher

Question 5

What type of insulin is used for insulin pump therapy?

Answer 5

B. Rapid-acting (U100) insulin

Date: 1002/2024

Question 6

The warning signs of DKA are similar to the flu or stomach virus, therefore anytime a student has nausea and vomiting you should:

Answer 6

A. Monitor the student’s glucose levels closely, check for ketones, and follow student’s DMAF Diabetes Team SY 24-2s

Question 7

What is Henry’s Carb Coverage Dose?

Answer 7

Carb Coverage Dose = Total Carbs / I:C ratio

Example: 62g / 1:2 = 31 units

Question 8

What is Henry’s Correction Dose?

Answer 8

Correction Dose = (Current BG - Target BG) / ISF

Example: (230 - 110) / 55 = 4 units

Question 9

How much insulin would you administer?

Answer 9

Total Insulin Dose = Carb Coverage Dose + Correction Dose

Example: 31 units + 4 units = 35 units

Question 10

1. True or False: Everyone who takes insulin (by injection or insulin pump) should keep a glucagon kit on hand in case a severe low occurs.

Answer 10

A. True

Example sentence: It is important for individuals taking insulin to have a glucagon kit available in case of a severe low.

Question 11

2. What is the best strategy for preventing hypoglycemia?

Answer 11

A. Do not give insulin to cover carbohydrates to be eaten within the prescribed I:C ratio

Example sentence: One strategy for preventing hypoglycemia is to avoid giving insulin to cover carbohydrates within a specific ratio.

Question 12

3. True or False: When your body does not have enough insulin, glucose cannot move into the cells and must stay in the blood and interstitial fluid. This causes blood glucose levels to become high and the cells starve for energy.

Answer 12

A. True

This statement explains the impact of insufficient insulin on blood glucose levels and cell function.

Question 13

4. What type of insulin is used for insulin pump therapy?

Answer 13

B. Rapid-acting (U100) insulin

Example sentence: Rapid-acting insulin is commonly used for insulin pump therapy due to its fast-acting nature.

Question 14

5. True or False: The warning signs of DKA are similar to the flu or stomach virus, therefore anytime a student has nausea and vomiting you should monitor the student’s glucose levels closely, check for ketones, and follow the student’s DMMP.

Answer 14

A. True

Example sentence: It is important to monitor glucose levels and check for ketones when a student exhibits signs of DKA to ensure proper management.

Question 15

True or False: Glucagon can be given by injection/auto-injector/via nasal canal to raise glucose levels if a severe low occurs.

Answer 15

A. True

Example sentence: Glucagon can be administered via injection, auto-injector, or nasal canal to raise glucose levels during a severe low.

Question 16

The body’s main source of fuel or energy is

Answer 16

C. Glucose

Additional information: Glucose is the body’s primary source of fuel or energy.

Question 17

What does long-acting insulin do?

Answer 17

A. Establishes a healthy baseline blood sugar level

Long-acting insulin helps establish a stable baseline blood sugar level.

Question 18

In the event a student with diabetes experiences pump failure, what is MOST important to do?

Answer 18

D. Assess the student, refer to the DMAF, and use back up supplies

It is crucial to assess the student, refer to the Diabetes Medical Management Plan (DMAF), and utilize backup supplies in case of pump failure.

Question 19

What is the larger amount of insulin produced by the pancreas to cover the increase in glucose after eating called?

Answer 19

Basal insulin

The larger amount of insulin produced by the pancreas after eating to cover the increase in glucose is known as basal insulin.

Question 20

Should everyone who takes insulin (by injection or pump) keep a glucagon kit on hand for emergencies?

Answer 20

True. Yes, a glucagon kit should be available for emergencies in case of severe low blood sugar.

A glucagon kit is used to raise blood sugar levels in emergencies when someone with diabetes experiences severe hypoglycemia.
