A nurse is reinforcing teaching with client who has diabetes mellitus and is taking insulin lispro and insulin glargine. Which the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"Draw up the insulin lispro and insulin glargine in separate syringes.

✴️ Mixing these insulins alters their pharmacokinetics and may affect blood glucose control.
✴️ This prevents dosage errors and ensures proper absorption and effectiveness.
✴️ Separate administration maintains the integrity of each insulin type.
✴️ Teaching correct technique avoids hypoglycemia or poor glycemic control.
