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.

swallowing and are at risk for aspiration. The speech-language pathologist
, can perform a swallow study to determine the extent of the client's
dysphagia and work with the client to develop new swallowing techniques.
-A nurse is planning teaching for a client who has a new diagnosis of type 2
diabetes mellitus. Which of the following actions should the nurse take prior
to performing the teaching? (select all that apply) - -- Establish the client's
learning needs
- Determine the client's literacy level
- Evaluate the client's readiness for learning
- Identify the client's learning style
Establish the client's learning needs is correct. Prior to planning any teaching
session, the nurse should perform a comprehensive assessment of the
client's learning needs. This assessment incorporates information from the
client's history and physical assessment, current health problems,
understanding of and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan, and
support system. Determine the client's literacy level is correct. Knowing the
client's literacy level is an important factor in communicating with the client
and in delivering audiovisual presentations and written materials. If the client
cannot understand the information the nurse presents, they will not learn.
Evaluate the client's readiness for learning is correct. The nurse should
determine the client's physical readiness (pain control), emotional readiness
(acceptance of diagnosis), and cognitive readiness (appropriate level of
consciousness). Identify the client's learning style is correct. The best way to
learn varies from client to client. Some people learn best by watching a
demonstration, while others thrive in a group setting, and others prefer to
read information on their own. In a group setting, the nurse should use a
variety of styles to accommodate most learners.
