An older patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus has been prescribed a combination of long ...

An older patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus has been prescribed a combination of long and short-acting insulin. What should be included in the nurse's medication instruction?

▸ Mixtures of insulin preparations with different onsets and durations of action are often given in a single injection to simplify the dosing.

▸ When medications are mixed together it is cost-effective, using only one syringe per administration time.

▸ Insulin mixtures allow the medication to be distributed more deeply into the subcutaneous layer of tissue and allow for better absorption.

▸ Insulin combinations reduce the incidence of complications to the patient and to the injection site.
