A client is admitted from the emergency department with diabetic ketoacidosis. A bolus of 0.1 units/kg regular insulin is prescribed. The client weighs 200 pounds. How many units of insulin should the nurse administer? (Enter numeric value only. Round to the nearest whole number.)

Given: Ordered dose of insulin: 0.1 units/kg Patient weight: 200 pounds Step 1: Convert patient weight from pounds to kilograms: 1 pound (lb) = 0.453592 kilograms (kg) Patient weight in kg = 200 lbs x 0.453592 kg/lb = 90.718 kg Step 2: Calculate the total dose of insulin: Total dose (units) = Ordered dose (units/kg) x Patient weight (kg) Total dose (units) = 0.1 units/kg x 90.718 kg Total dose (units) = 9.0718 units Step 3: Round to the nearest whole number: Total dose (units) ≈ 9 units
