Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to mix NPH insulin and regular insulin for administration. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Inject air into each vial. This step is necessary to prevent creating a vacuum in the vial, making it easier to withdraw the correct amount of insulin. Injecting air into the vial equalizes the pressure, allowing for smooth withdrawal of the medication.


Choice A is incorrect because withdrawing the NPH insulin first without injecting air into the vials may lead to difficulty in withdrawing the correct amount of insulin due to pressure differences.
Choice C is incorrect as a tuberculin syringe is not typically used for insulin administration.
Choice D is incorrect because shaking the regular insulin vial may cause frothing, affecting the accuracy of the dose measurement.
