What else can I help you with?
When mixing regular and nph insulin which do you draw up first?
Draw up the regular insulin first. You always want to go from clear to cloudy. Also, you do not want the NPH insulin mixing into the regular insulin, therefore the regular insulin should be drawn up before the NPH (long-acting) insulin.

NPH is a long acting insulin that peaks 8 hours after administration. Regular insulin is fast acting that peaks 30 minutes after administration. Regular insulin should be taken before meals.

yes...because regular insulin and Isophane Insulin(NPH) is a human-made form of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced naturally by pancreas

Which insulins are in suspensions?
Insulins that come in suspension form include NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin and certain mixtures like 70/30, which contains 70% NPH and 30% regular insulin. These suspensions require gentle mixing before injection to ensure proper dosing, as the insulin particles can settle over time. Other insulin formulations, such as long-acting insulins like insulin glargine or insulin detemir, are typically not in suspension form.
How many units of NPH U-I 00 would be administered if the patient's noon dose was 0.25 ml?
The number of units administered will depend on the concentration of NPH U-100 insulin. If the patient is receiving 0.25 ml of insulin, you need to know the concentration of the insulin to calculate the units. Typically, 1 ml of U-100 insulin contains 100 units, so in this case the patient would receive 25 units of NPH U-100 insulin.
How long after taking nph insulin should nurse observe patient for hypoglycemia?
Would it be from 12 noon to 2 pm
Can novolog insulin be given by iv?
