• Advance diet as tolerated

Question 1 of 5
The nurse prepares to give 2 units of insulin lispro. What should the nurse double-check with a second nurse? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,C,E,G
Rationale: Double-checking the vial’s color/clarity ensures insulin stability, the dose in the syringe prevents errors, the expiration date confirms potency, and the concentration (e.g., U-100) ensures accurate dosing. History, sliding scale, and injection site do not require dual verification.
