    Exhibits The nurse prepares to give 2 units of insulin lispro. Which should the nurse double check with a second nurse? Select all that apply.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. (The dose of insulin drawn up in the syringe): Ensures the correct dosage is being administered, which is critical to avoid under- or overdosing. B. The site for the insulin administration is not typically double-checked with another nurse, as they are part of the nurse's standard assessment and practice. C. (The type of insulin to be administered): Confirms that the correct insulin type (e.g., insulin lispro) is being given, as administering the wrong type could lead to improper glucose control. D. (The sliding scale insulin lispro prescription): Verifies the correct sliding scale dosing, ensuring it matches the client's current blood glucose level. E. (The insulin concentration): Ensures the insulin concentration is appropriate and aligns with the prescribed dose. F. (The insulin vial for color and clarity): Confirms that the insulin is not compromised; any discoloration or cloudiness could indicate that the insulin is not safe to use. H. (The expiration date on the insulin vial): Ensures the insulin is within its expiration date and effective. G. The history and physical with the diabetes diagnosis listed are not typically double-checked with another nurse, as they are part of the nurse's standard assessment and practice.
