Insulin therapy
Insulin therapy ( 51 Questions)
When drawing up insulin from two different vials (e.g., rapid-acting and intermediate-acting insulin), which type of insulin should be drawn up first?
Drawing up rapid-acting insulin before intermediate-acting insulin prevents contamination of the rapid-acting insulin vial with the longer-acting insulin.
Drawing up intermediate-acting insulin first can contaminate the vial with rapid-acting insulin, potentially altering dosing accuracy.
The order in which insulin is drawn up does matter to prevent contamination.
Regular insulin is not commonly used for injection in routine insulin therapy.
Drawing up rapid-acting insulin before intermediate-acting insulin prevents contamination of the rapid-acting insulin vial with the longer-acting insulin.
