Suggested Answer:C🗳️
(A) This is too early for peak action to occur. (B) This is too early for peak action to occur. (C) Regular insulin peak action occurs 24 hours after administration. (D) This is too late for peak action to occur.
C. 12 noon
Regular human insulin (short-acting insulin) has an onset, peak, and duration as follows:
- Onset: 30 to 60 minutes
- Peak: 2 to 4 hours after administration
- Duration: 6 to 8 hours
Since the insulin was given at 9:00 AM, the peak action would occur approximately 2 to 4 hours later, which places the peak time between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Among the available options, 12:00 PM is the best choice, as it falls within this range.
