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.
