✍️ Sample QMA INSULIN Questions & Answers

1. A resident is shaking, pale, and confused. The blood glucose reads 48 mg/dL. What should the QMA do first?

✓ Notify the nurse immediately

The QMA must notify the nurse immediately; treatment decisions for hypoglycemia are outside the QMA's scope without a nurse directive.

2. Which of the following demonstrates culturally competent communication during insulin administration for a QMA?

✓ Acknowledge and respect the resident's cultural or religious beliefs while ensuring safe medication administration and involving the nurse if conflicts arise

Culturally competent care involves recognizing individual beliefs and practices, respectfully addressing them, and collaborating with the nurse to accommodate cultural needs within safe care parameters.

3. Which action violates a resident's right to self-determination?

✓ Forcing insulin administration against the resident's expressed refusal

Forcing treatment on a competent resident who has refused it violates the legal and ethical right to self-determination and may constitute assault.

4. Which element is typically included in the written examination component of QMA insulin accreditation?

✓ Pharmacokinetics, hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia recognition, and safe administration procedures

Written exams for QMA insulin accreditation cover pharmacokinetics, recognizing and responding to blood glucose emergencies, and correct administration procedures.

5. Which communication technique is most effective when explaining insulin administration to an elderly resident with hearing loss?

✓ Face the resident directly, speak clearly at a moderate pace, and use simple language; written materials may also help

Clear, direct communication with a visible face for lip-reading, moderate pacing, and simple language — supplemented by written materials if needed — is most effective for hearing-impaired residents.

6. When documenting insulin administration, which blood glucose value would require the QMA to withhold the dose AND document a parameter hold?

✓ 58 mg/dL

A blood glucose of 58 mg/dL is below typical hold parameters (usually <70 mg/dL), requiring the dose to be withheld and documented accordingly.
