Ontario Registered Pharmacy Technician (RphT) Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

A patient requests a refill of their rapid-acting and long-acting insulins, respectively. What would be dispensed?

Humulin R and Humalog

Humulin N and Levemir

Humalog and Lantus

Rapid-acting insulins, such as Humalog, are meant to be used shortly before eating whereas long-acting insulins, such as Lantus, are meant to provide a background level of insulin throughout the day. Refilling both Humalog and Lantus ensures that the patient has access to both medications needed for proper diabetes management. The other options, Humulin R and Humalog, and Humulin N and Levemir, do not provide the patient with both rapid-acting and long-acting insulins.
