Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Aspirin has multiple properties which include antiplatelet, anti- inflammatory and analgesic properties. Any client on aspirin should be monitored for bleeding as aspirin interferes with the formation of the primary plug increasing the risk on bleeding. The nurse should monitor for dark stool, hematuria or any other overt bleeding.
A, C, D- Aspirin does not cause blurred vision, insomnia or constipation.

A. Administer the insulin in two separate injections. B. Keep the open vial of insulin at room temperature. C. Aspirate the medication prior to administration. D. Inject the insulin into a large muscle.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Regular insulin (short-acting) and NPH insulin (intermediate-acting) can be mixed and administered in the same syringe. This is a common practice when using both types of insulin to simplify the injection process, as long as the client is instructed on proper mixing techniques.
B. Open vials of insulin can be stored at room temperature (typically up to 25°C or 77°F) for a certain period (usually about 28 days) before they need to be refrigerated again. This makes the insulin more comfortable to inject and helps maintain its effectiveness.
C. Aspiration is not recommended for insulin injections due to the risk of injecting into a blood vessel
D. Insulin injections should be administered subcutaneously, not into a large muscle.
