The nurse is preparing to administer regular insulin to a client with type 1 diabetes. The client's FSBG is 167. The breakfast tray has just arrived. Which action should the nurse take?

A. Wait until the client finishes half of the meal before giving the insulin: Regular insulin has a quick onset and should be administered shortly before or at the beginning of a meal to prevent postprandial hyperglycemia. B. Administer the insulin immediately before the client begins eating: Regular insulin should be administered before meals to ensure that it begins to work as the client eats, helping to control the rise in blood sugar that occurs after eating. C. Hold the insulin until the client's blood glucose is rechecked: The current blood glucose level of 167 mg/dL is elevated but not dangerously high. Regular insulin should be administered at the start of the meal, and the blood glucose can be rechecked later if needed. D. Administer the insulin 30 minutes after the client finishes eating: Regular insulin should be given before meals. Administering insulin after eating can lead to high blood sugar levels as the insulin won't be able to act promptly to manage the glucose rise from the meal.
