Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is to start therapy with insulin lispro and insulin glargine. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Take insulin lispro right before a meal. Insulin lispro is a rapid-acting insulin that should be administered within 15 minutes before or immediately after a meal to control postprandial blood glucose levels effectively. Mixing insulins in the same syringe (
A) is not recommended as it can affect their action. Insulin glargine is a long-acting insulin that is usually given once a day (
B), not twice. Shaking insulin vials (
C) can cause foaming and affect the insulin's potency. It is important to administer insulin lispro in relation to meals to optimize its glucose-lowering effects.
