The nurse is formulating a teaching plan for a client recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes

The nurse provides a list of appropriate food choices to a client with newly diagnosed diabetes. The client reviews the list and says, "I do not like and refuse to eat asparagus, broccoli, and mushrooms." In response, the nurse teaches the client about the food exchange list. The nurse evaluates that the teaching is understood when the client states, "Instead of asparagus, broccoli, and mushrooms, I can eat:

1
String beans, beets, or carrots."
2
Corn, lima beans, or dried peas."
3
Baked beans, potatoes, or parsnips."
4
Corn muffins, corn chips, or pretzels."

A health care provider prescribes 36 units of NPH insulin (Novolin N) and 12 units of regular insulin (Novolin R). The nurse plans to administer these drugs in one syringe. Identify the steps in this procedure in priority order. (Start with the number of the picture that represents the first step and end with the number by the picture that represents the last step.)
