For each nursing action listed, click to specify whether the action should be completed before administration or after administration of insulin.

• Check client's blood glucose level: Assessing blood glucose prior to insulin administration ensures the correct dose is given and prevents hypoglycemia. Pre-administration checks allow safe and individualized dosing based on current glucose levels. • Identify client using 2 identifiers: Verifying the client’s identity with two identifiers (e.g., name and date of birth) is essential before giving insulin to prevent medication errors and ensure patient safety. • Assess client at the time of peak effect: Monitoring the client during the insulin’s peak effect helps detect hypoglycemia, the time when the drug’s action is strongest. Post-administration assessment ensures prompt intervention if adverse effects occur. • Document time and injection site: Recording the time and site of insulin injection after administration provides a reference for subsequent doses and site rotation. Accurate documentation helps prevent complications such as lipodystrophy and ensures continuity of care.
