The primary healthcare provider (PHCP) prescribes a bolus of regular insulin prior to a continuous infusion. The prescription is for 0.1 units/kg. The client weighs 256 lbs. How many units of insulin should the nurse administer to the client? Fill in the blank. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

On June 2, 2007, a nurse in Wales accidentally injected an 85-year-old patient with a lethal amount of insulin during a home visit. While the syringes used to inject insulin are typically marked with insulin units instead of the usual milliliters, this nurse found herself without an insulin syringe on hand. So she retrieved a common syringe from her car and proceeded to do the transformation from milliliters to insulin units in her head. If 1 milliliter equals 100 insulin units, how many milliliters should the patient have been given if she had been prescribed 36 units?Group of answer choices1 milliliter = 100 units so 0.01 milliliter = 1 unit. It follows that 0.36 milliliters = 36 units. So she should have injected the patient with 0.36 milliliters.1 milliliter = 100 units so 0.1 milliliter = 1 unit. It follows that 0.36 milliliters = 36 units. So she should have injected the patient with 0.36 milliliters.1 milliliter = 100 units so 0.01 milliliter = 10 units. It follows that 36 milliliters = 36 units. So she should have injected the patient with 36 milliliters.1 milliliter = 100 units so 0.01 milliliter = 1 unit. It follows that 0.36 milliliters = 3.6 units. So she should have injected the patient with 3.6 milliliters.

In this experiment, blood glucose was measured in mmol/Lmmol/L while insulin was measured in pmol/Lpmol/L. A mmolmmol is equal to 100100 million pmolpmol. What does this say about the amount of glucose in the blood compared to the amount of insulin?
