Which statement made by a client whom thenurse is teaching how to self-inject insulinreflects a need for clarification of injection siteselection and rotation?
The abdominal site is best because it is closest
to the pancreas. I can reach my thigh the best, so I will use
different areas of the same thigh. By rotating the sits within one area, my chances
of having tissue increases or decreases is less. If I change injection sites from the thigh to the
arm, the rate of absorption will be different.
