Answer:
"I need to keep any unopened bottles of insulin in the freezer."
Explanation:
The insulin therapy is aimed at maintaining the blood sugar levels within a goal range. Insulin is normally pumped into the fat below the skin using a syringe, insulin pen or pump tube.
Insulin should be delivered at room temperature. If you had it in a cooler or refrigerator bag, take it out 30 minutes before the injection. If you have started using an insulin vial, it can be kept for one month at room temperature.
When a nurse is providing instruction about insulin therapy and its administration to an adolescent client who has just been found to have diabetes mellitus.
The clients statement "I need to keep any unopened bottles of insulin in the freezer." Indicates a need of further instructions because insulin therapy administration requires that the insulin should be at a room temperature and not when it's in a refrigerator.
