CLINICAL REASONING: INSULIN
Scenario: A client is to receive Humulin R
U-100 10 units sub-cut and Humulin N U-100 14 units sub-cut before
breakfast. In drawing up the insulins in the same syringe, the
nurse used the following technique:
A) Injected 10 units of air into the regular vial.
B) Injected 14 units of air into the NPH vial.
C) Withdrew 14 units of NPH insulin, then the 10units of regular
insulin.
What is the error in the technique of drawing up the two
insulins?
10 units of air in the NPH insulin, 14 units of air in the
Regular insulin
14 units of air in the NPH insulin, 10 units of air in the
Regular insulin
15 units of air in the NPH insulin, 5 units of air in the
Regular insulin
13 units of air in the NPH insulin, 2 units of air in the
Regular insulin
