A nurse is teaching a client who has type 1 diabetes about insulin administration. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Correct Answer: C. "I should draw up the regular insulin before the NPH insulin."
Rationale: Regular insulin has a faster onset of action compared to NPH insulin. Drawing up the regular insulin first ensures timely administration of the insulin with a rapid effect, followed by the NPH insulin for sustained blood glucose control throughout the day. This sequencing aligns with the pharmacokinetics of the insulin types, optimizing their therapeutic effects.
