    Explanation & Rationale

    The nurse should expect for the insulin lispro to start working at 10-20 minutes and to peak at 1-2 hours. Rationale: Insulin lispro is a rapid-acting insulin analog, which means it starts working relatively quickly after administration and reaches its peak effectiveness at a specific time. The onset of action for insulin lispro is typically around 10-20 minutes, meaning it begins to lower blood glucose levels within this timeframe. The peak effect occurs around 1-2 hours after administration, during which the insulin has the most potent effect on reducing blood glucose levels.
