B. NPH insulin is an intermediate-acting insulin and is not appropriate for the rapid correction needed in DKA.
C. Insulin detemir is a long-acting insulin used for basal insulin control, not suitable for acute DKA treatment.

A. Jerking movements of the extremities B. Extremities that turned blue when exposed to cold C. Spasms of the extremities D. Tingling feeling in the extremities

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Jerking movements of the extremities are not typical of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. These movements could indicate other neurological disorders, such as tremors or dyskinesia.

B. Extremities turning blue when exposed to cold suggests a vascular issue, such as Raynaud's phenomenon, rather than neuropathy. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy primarily affects sensation and not blood flow.

C. Spasms of the extremities are more indicative of muscle or electrolyte imbalances rather than neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy typically causes sensory symptoms like tingling or numbness rather than muscle spasms.

D. Tingling or a burning sensation in the extremities, known as paresthesia, is a common symptom of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. This condition affects the sensory nerves and can lead to these types of sensations.
