This document is an educational study guide presenting five clinical scenarios that require nurses or medical students to calculate the appropriate insulin dose for patients at various meal times. Each scenario describes a patient’s insulin prescription (regular insulin and NPH insulin, with specific units for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, and bedtime), sometimes includes patient weight, and asks how many units should be administered at the current meal. The guide then provides the correct answer for each question (e.g., 8 units for Marty’s lunch, 21 units for Larry’s evening snack, 29 units for Ashley’s breakfast, 9 units for a generic lunch, and 19 units for Mike’s bedtime snack). A legal disclaimer emphasizes that the material is for educational purposes only and not medical advice. The content serves to reinforce dosage‑calculation skills, reinforce understanding of insulin types and timing, and prepare learners for real‑world medication administration.
