How many units of NPH U-I 00 would be administered if the patient's noon dose was 0.25 ml?
The number of units administered will depend on the concentration of NPH U-100 insulin. If the patient is receiving 0.25 ml of insulin, you need to know the concentration of the insulin to calculate the units. Typically, 1 ml of U-100 insulin contains 100 units, so in this case the patient would receive 25 units of NPH U-100 insulin.
