Question: A nurse is teaching a client about self-administration of subcutaneous insulin. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?

Answer options:

• "I will rotate injection sites to prevent tissue damage." ✅ "I will draw up my long-acting insulin before my short-acting insulin."
• "I will pinch the skin and inject at a 90-degree angle."
• "I will store my extra insulin pens in the refrigerator."

Correct answer: "I will draw up my long-acting insulin before my short-acting insulin."

Explanation: When mixing insulins, regular (short-acting) insulin should be drawn up before NPH (intermediate-acting) to avoid contaminating the regular vial.
