Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale
Regular insulin should be clear. If it appears cloudy, it may be contaminated or expired, and should be discarded. This is a correct instruction for self-administering regular insulin and NPH insulin from the same syringe.
Choice B rationale
When mixing insulins, regular insulin should be drawn up first, followed by NPH insulin. Drawing up NPH insulin first can lead to contamination of the regular insulin with the cloudy NPH insulin.
Choice C rationale
NPH insulin should be gently rolled or inverted to mix, not shaken. Shaking can cause bubbles, which can lead to inaccurate dosing.
Choice D rationale

Air should be injected into the NPH insulin vial first, not the regular insulin vial. This helps prevent contamination and ensures accurate dosing.

A. A high protein diet. B. A high fiber diet. C. A low sodium diet. D. A low fat diet.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale
A high protein diet is not recommended for clients with biliary colic from chronic cholecystitis as it can increase bile production and exacerbate symptoms.
Choice B rationale
A high fiber diet is beneficial for overall health but does not specifically address the needs of clients with biliary colic.
Choice C rationale
A low sodium diet is beneficial for overall health but does not specifically address the needs of clients with biliary colic.
Choice D rationale
A low fat diet is recommended for clients with biliary colic from chronic cholecystitis as it reduces the workload on the gallbladder and decreases the risk of gallstone formation.
