Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is to self-administer regular insulin and NPH insulin from the same syringe. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Inject air into the regular insulin first. This step is crucial when mixing regular and NPH insulin to prevent contamination. By injecting air into the regular insulin vial first, you prevent drawing NPH insulin back into the regular insulin vial. This maintains the integrity of each insulin type. Other choices are incorrect because shaking NPH insulin can cause foaming and interfere with accurate dosage measurement (choice
B), drawing up NPH insulin first can lead to contamination of regular insulin (choice
C), and discarding regular insulin if cloudy is not necessary as long as the expiration date has not passed (choice
D).
