The nurse is preparing to administer prescribed modified (cloudy) and nonmodified (clear) insulin to a client with type 1 diabetes. Place the following steps in the correct order, that the nurse should take to prepare the medication. All options must be used.
Explanation
Step 1: A. Inject the amount of air into the modified (cloudy) vial that is equal to the prescribed dose of modified (cloudy) insulin. This step is correct and should be done first. Injecting air into the vial of cloudy insulin (modified) helps to prevent creating a vacuum and makes it easier to withdraw the insulin.
Step 3: B. Invert the vial of non-modified (clear) insulin, then insert the needle into the vial and draw back the prescribed dose. This step should be done after air has been injected into the modified insulin vial. The clear insulin (non-modified) should be drawn first to avoid contamination of the clear insulin with the cloudy insulin.
Step 2: C. Inject the amount of air into the nonmodified (clear) vial that is equal to the prescribed dose of nonmodified (clear) insulin. This step should be done before drawing the insulin from the clear vial. Injecting air into the clear insulin vial helps to equalize the pressure and makes it easier to withdraw the insulin.
Step 4: D. Invert the vial of modified (cloudy) insulin, then insert the needle into the vial and draw back the prescribed dose. This step should be done after drawing the clear insulin. Drawing the cloudy insulin last helps to prevent any contamination of the clear insulin with the cloudy insulin.
