Short Acting Insulin Mnemonic for NCLEX | Nursing Pharmacology

Study this Short Acting Insulin mnemonic for NCLEX and other mnemonics with Pixorize.

Short-acting insulin formulations include regular insulin. As a short acting insulin, regular insulin works slower than rapid-acting insulins but faster than intermediate acting insulins, with a peak around 2 hours after subcutaneous administration. Importantly, regular insulin is special because it is the only type of insulin that can be given through an IV line. Regular insulin has a clear appearance, and when mixed in a syringe with intermediate-acting insulins, the regular insulin should be drawn up in the syringe first.
