Explanation
The correct order of actions for mixing short-acting and intermediate-acting insulin in the same syringe is as follows:
- Inject air into the intermediate-acting insulin vial.
- Inject air into the short-acting insulin vial.
- Draw the short-acting insulin into the syringe.
- Draw the intermediate-acting insulin into the syringe.
The reason for this order is to prevent contamination of the vials. By injecting air into each vial first, you create equalized pressure, making it easier to withdraw the insulin. Drawing the short-acting insulin before the intermediate-acting insulin helps prevent contamination of the short-acting insulin vial with the intermediate-acting insulin.
