A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is postoperative following a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Insulin lispro is a rapid-acting insulin, while insulin glargine is a long-acting insulin. It is important to keep them separate to maintain their individual properties and avoid any potential interactions or changes in their effectiveness.

Insulin glargine is a clear solution and should not appear cloudy. Cloudiness in insulin can indicate contamination or improper storage.

The instruction to "take an extra dose of insulin lispro prior to aerobic exercise" is not recommended. The client should consult with their healthcare provider to determine if any adjustments to their insulin regimen are necessary for exercise. Typically, adjustments are made based on the individual's blood glucose levels and anticipated intensity and duration of exercise. Insulin glargine is a long-acting insulin that provides a steady release of insulin over a prolonged period, without distinct peaks or valleys in its action. Its onset of action is gradual and its effect lasts for approximately 24 hours.

It is important for the client to receive accurate and appropriate instructions regarding their insulin regimen. The nurse should clarify any misunderstandings and provide accurate information to promote safe and effective diabetes management.

Understanding the client's current voiding pattern is essential in developing an effective bladder training program. By determining the client's pattern for voiding, the nurse can identify any irregularities, frequency, and specific times when the client is more likely to void. This information will serve as a baseline for developing an individualized bladder training program. Offering toileting opportunities every 1 to 2 hours is an appropriate intervention to ensure regular and scheduled voiding. However, before implementing this intervention, it is necessary to determine the client's current voiding pattern to identify any existing irregularities or potential areas of improvement.

Assisting the client with relaxation techniques can help promote effective voiding and reduce anxiety or stress related to the act of voiding. However, this intervention can be more effective once the nurse has assessed the client's voiding pattern and identified specific areas where relaxation techniques can be beneficial.

Discouraging intake of carbonated beverages is a valid intervention as carbonated beverages can irritate the bladder and contribute to increased frequency and urgency of urination. However, this intervention can be implemented as part of a comprehensive bladder training program after the nurse has assessed the client's current voiding pattern and developed an individualized plan.
