Practice Question
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for NPH insulin 10 units and regular insulin 15 units subcutaneously. After injecting 10 units of air into the NPH insulin vial, which of the following actions should the nurse take next?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Inject 15 units of air into the regular insulin vial.
Rationale:
🔴 After injecting air into the NPH vial, the nurse should inject air into the regular insulin vial next to maintain pressure balance.
🔴 This step prevents creating a vacuum and allows smooth withdrawal of insulin.
🔴 The rule “air into cloudy, air into clear” must be followed before drawing up insulin.
🔴 Placing the cap on the needle or withdrawing insulin before injecting air disrupts this process.
