Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to mix short-acting insulin with NPH insulin from two vials. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action is to inject air into the vial to withdraw the short-acting insulin first. This prevents contamination of the NPH insulin vial. Drawing air into the vial equalizes pressure, making it easier to withdraw the correct dose. Drawing NPH insulin first can contaminate the short-acting insulin vial. Administering the insulin within 20 minutes is not necessary. Using two separate syringes is not required for mixing insulins.
