Answer to Question 1

D
The client should be taught to inject air into both vials and withdraw the short-acting (regular) insulin first.
Air should be injected into the vial of intermediate-acting NPH insulin, and then the vial of short-acting (regular) insulin.
The short-acting (regular) insulin should be withdrawn after air has been injected into both vials.
