Rationale: NPH insulin is an intermediate-acting insulin. It peaks in 6 to 12 hours after administration. (Its onset is in 1 to 2 hours, and its duration is 18 to 24 hours.) If the medication was given at 7 AM, the nurse would monitor for hypoglycemia during the time of peak action, which would be between 1 and 7 PM.
