... [Show More] intermediate-acting insulin in
one syringe to administer to a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Identify the sequence the nurse should follow. - ANS✔✔---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

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.

pain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? - ANS✔✔---

and oral mucosa.
A nurse is planning care for a client who has dysphagia and is at risk for
aspiration. Which of the following referrals should the nurse make? -
ANS✔✔---Speech-language pathologist
The nurse should recommend a referral for a client who has dysphagia to a
speech-language pathologist. Clients who have dysphagia have difficulty
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) - ANS✔✔---- 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.

status. Which of the following information should the nurse plan to include
