what special technique must the nurse use when administering nph insulin
If the dosage is 50u of NPH and 10u of rugular... shoot 50units of air into nph vial and withdrawl syringe. inject 10 units of air into regular vial and draw back 10u of regular insulin, withdrawl syringe, try not to get bubbles. place syringe back into nph and draw back to the 60 unit mark. if you go past 60 units...never inject mixed insulin back into nph vial. Here's a trick they taught me in nursing school.
