When administering insulin to a client, the nurse will rotate injection sites primarily to prevent:
1. systemic absorption of insulin.
2. lipodystrophy.
3. abscess development.
4. ineffective dosing.
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Insulin rotation would not prevent systemic absorption.
Rationale 2: Rotation of insulin sites helps to prevent lipodystrophy.
Rationale 3: Rotation of sites could help prevent abscess development, but this is not the primary reason.
Rationale 4: Insulin site rotation does not prevent ineffective dosing.
Global Rationale: Rotation of insulin sites helps to prevent lipodystrophy. This technique may help prevent abscess development, but this is not the primary rationale for its use. It will not prevent systemic absorption or ineffective dosing.
