Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing regular and NPH insulin in the same syringe for a client who has diabetes mellitus. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: D


Rationale: Injecting air into the regular insulin vial before the NPH insulin vial prevents contamination. This technique avoids drawing NPH insulin into the regular insulin vial, which could alter the regular insulin's effectiveness. It also prevents air bubbles from being injected into the NPH vial, which could affect the accuracy of the NPH insulin dosage.

Summary of other choices:
A: Shaking both insulin vials before withdrawing doses can cause frothing and denaturation of insulin molecules, affecting their efficacy.
B: Administering the mixture within 5 minutes is not a recommended practice as it does not address the issue of potential contamination between the two insulins.
C: Withdrawing NPH insulin before regular insulin can lead to contamination and inaccurate dosages.
E, F, G: No information provided.
