Are you consistently losing points on Hypoglycemia because of giving insulin without checking the lunch tray? If so, you're making the exact same error as 80% of your class.
Your Timeline
- Minute 1: Identify the variables. Don't start solving.
- Minute 2: Check for edge cases. Are you about to commit the sin of giving insulin without checking the lunch tray?
- Minute 3-5: Execute. Keep this application in mind: If you administer rapid-acting insulin and the patient's lunch tray is delayed, their blood sugar will crash to dangerously low levels within 15 minutes.
Stick to the timeline. Methodical execution beats panicked guessing every single time.
