4. A client is being treated with recombinant insulin, Lispro, and asks the nurse to explain what is meant by the term recombinant during their teaching session. Which statement should the nurse make to the client?
- a. This type of insulin is similar in structure to the insulin that is produced in your body, so there is less likelihood of developing a reaction than if a different type of insulin was used.
- b. DNA recombinant medication utilizes genes that were transferred from one organism to another to cause a desired effect.
- c. DNA recombinant medication, Lispro, is the same as other insulin preparations but has a longer onset of action.
- d. Using Lispro will reduce the need for frequent Accu-chek testing during a 24-hour period.

- Answer the following correctly. Designer Genes Work (This is all about Applications of Recombinant DNA). Illustrate Designer genes using this information: The Arctic apple is a fruit engineered to resist browning after being cut. Currently they are only available in the US – in golden, fuji and gala varieties – where they have been given Food and Drug Administration approval.
