After a blood glucose reading, it is determined that the patient should receive 4 units of
Lispro and 8 units of NPH. Which action will the nurse take to administer these
medications?
a.
Draw up each insulin in separate syringes and administer two injections.
b.
Draw up the NPH first and then the Lispro using the same syringe.
c.
Administer the Lispro before the meal and the NPH after the meal.
d.
Draw up the Lispro first and then the NPH using the same syringe. ✅ANS: D
Lispro, an insulin analogue, is the most rapid-acting insulin. Insulin analogues are
compatible with intermediate (NPH) or long-acting insulin. When combining two types of
insulin, the short acting insulin is drawn up before the intermediate acting insulin. There
is no reason to administer a second injection. The long-acting insulin is drawn up last
when mixing. Insulin is to be administered before meals.

a.
After the patient has started eating
b.
Within 10 to 15 minutes of eating
c.
30 minutes before a meal
d.
45 to 60 minutes before a meal ✅ANS: B
Insulin analogues, such as Lispro and Aspart, are the most rapid-acting insulins. The
onset of these insulins is within 10 minutes of the injection, they peak within 1 to 2
hours, and their duration is 3 to 5 hours. Patients should be eating their meal within 10
to 15 minutes of the injection.

may be required in the evaluation of patients with impaired fasting glucose or when
diabetes is still suspected, despite a normal FPG, as with the postpartum evaluation of
women with gestational diabetes mellitus. The A1c test is used to monitor diabetes
management over 90 day intervals, the life of a red blood cell.
