The nurse is administering a dose of rapid-acting insulin at 0800 to an insulin-dependent diabetic child. Based on when the insulin peaks, the child would be at greatest risk for a hypoglycemic episode:
1. At about noon.
2. Between bedtime and breakfast the next morning.
3. Between lunch and dinner.
4. Around 0930.

Yes, it's 4. Rapid-acting insulin peaks 30–90 minutes after administration. An injection given at 0800 would peak around 0930.
