1. A nurse is preparing to mix short-acting and intermediate-acting insulin in
one syringe to administer to a patient who has type 1 diabetes mellitus. Identify
the sequence the nurse should follow.: 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
4: Withdraw the prescribed amount of insulin form the short-acting insulin vial.
5: Withdraw the prescribed amount of insulin form the intermediate-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.
2. A nurse is assessing a patient who wears partial dentures and reports mouth
pain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Instruct the patient to brush their remaining teeth with a firm toothbrush.
Advise the patient to rinse their mouth and dentures after each meal.
Swab the patient's mouth with lemon-glycerin sponges at bedtime.: Advise
the patient to rinse their mouth and dentures after each meal.**
,The nurse should advise the patient to rinse their mouth and dentures after each
meal to remove food and particles and to promote healing of gums and oral
mucosa.
,The nurse should instruct the patient to rinse their mouth four times each day with
mild rinses, such as normal saline or sodium bicarbonate solution. The nurse should
inform the patient that mouthwashes containing alcohol dry the oral mucosa and
can irritate tissue.
The nurse should instruct the patient to brush their remaining teeth with a
soft toothbrush at least twice each day to reduce the risk for gum abrasions.
The nurse should avoid using lemon-glycerin sponges because they can cause
erosion of the patient's tooth enamel, dry the mucous membranes, and increase
the patient's current discomfort.
3. A nurse is planning care for a patient who has dysphagia and is at
risk for aspiration. Which of the following referrals should the nurse
make?: - Speech-language pathologist
The nurse should recommend a referral for a patient who has dysphagia to a
speech-language pathologist. Patients 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 patient's dysphagia and
work with the patient to develop new swallowing techniques.
4. A nurse is planning teaching for a patient 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): - Establish the patient's
learning needs**
- Determine the patient's literacy level**
- Evaluate the patient's readiness for learning**
- Identify the patient's learning style**
Establish the patient's learning needs is correct. Prior to planning any teaching
ses- sion, the nurse should perform a comprehensive assessment of the patient's
learning needs. This assessment incorporates information from the patient's history
and phys- ical assessment, current health problems, understanding of and
adherence to the prescribed treatment plan, and support system. Determine the
patient's literacy level is correct. Knowing the patient's literacy level is an important
, factor in communicating
