A nurse is preparing to mix short-acting and intermediate-acting insulin in one syringe to administer to a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus. Identify the sequence the nurse should follow.
1: Draw up the volume of insulin from the intermediate-acting insulin vial. 2: Inject the volume of air equal to the amount of insulin to withdraw from the intermediate-acting insulin vial.
3: Inject the volume of air equal to the insulin dose form the short-acting insulin vial
4: Withdraw the prescribed amount of insulin form the short-acting insulin vial.
5: Withdraw the prescribed amount of insulin form the intermediate-acting insulin vial.
To mix insulin from two vials in the same syringe, the nurse should first draw up a volume of air equal to the volume of insulin from the intermediate-acting insulin vial. The nurse should then inject the volume of air equal to the amount of insulin to withdraw from the intermediate-acting insulin vial, making sure the needle does not touch the insulin. Next, the nurse should inject the volume of air equal to the insulin dose from the short-acting insulin vial. Then, the nurse should withdraw
the prescribed amount of insulin from the short-acting insulin vial. Lastly, the nurse should withdraw the prescribed amount of insulin from the intermediate-
acting insulin vial. The insulins are now mixed and ready to administer.
