Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about insulin injections with a client who is newly diagnosed with type I diabetes mellitus. Which of the following information should the nurse include about site selection?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Insulin is absorbed most rapidly when injected in the thigh. Insulin is actually absorbed most rapidly in the abdomen, not the thigh. Use cold insulin for injection to minimize site pain. Insulin should be at room temperature for injection to reduce discomfort and avoid altered absorption rates. Cold insulin can increase injection pain. Massage the site after injection to promote absorption. Massaging the injection site can cause unpredictable insulin absorption and is not recommended. Rotate the injection site to keep insulin levels consistent. Rotating the injection sites helps prevent lipodystrophy and ensures consistent insulin absorption. It helps maintain stable blood glucose levels.
