Simulated
The nurse is teaching a client about newly prescribed insulin glargine. The nurse recognizes the need for further instruction when the client makes the following statement?
Correct answer
A,B,D,E
Rationale
Insulin glargine is a long-acting insulin taken once daily, not before meals, provides 24-hour coverage, and should not be mixed with other insulins. It is clear and does not require rolling, and can be injected in multiple sites, not just the abdomen. Only the statement about 24-hour control is correct.
