Mixing Insulin

Mixing Insulin
A. Use only an insulin syringe. Start by withdrawing enough air into an insulin syringe that is equal to the combined amount of the total dose of insulin to be given. Without actually fripping the needle into the NPH solution itself, pressurize the NPH vial with the amount of the air equal to the amount of NPH to me mixed with the regular insulin and then remove the syringe.

B. Inject the remaining air into the regular vial, and then withdraw the ordered amount of regular insulin into the syringe.

C. After withdrawing the ordered amount of regular insulin, remove the syringe, and expel any air bubbles

D. Reinsert the syringe into the already pressurized NPH vial and withdraw the ordered amount of NPH
