Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer regular and NPH insulin to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Withdraw the NPH insulin last. This is important to prevent contamination of the regular insulin with NPH insulin. NPH insulin is cloudy and should be gently mixed before withdrawal to ensure uniform suspension. Injecting air into the regular vial helps with withdrawing the correct amount without creating a vacuum, but it should be done after withdrawing NPH insulin. Mixing the medications in one syringe can alter their effectiveness. Administering in two separate syringes may lead to dosing errors.
