What should the nurse advise a client about their cloudy insulin?

Cloudy insulin indicates that there may be an issue with the insulin's integrity, especially if it is meant to be clear or is improperly mixed. For types such as regular insulin, which is typically clear, any cloudiness can signal that the insulin has either been compromised or improperly stored.

The suggestion to obtain a new bottle of insulin upon returning home highlights the importance of ensuring that the medication is safe and effective. Insulin that has become cloudy, especially if it shouldn’t be, may not control blood glucose levels adequately, posing risks to the patient's health. Therefore, the prudent action is to get a new supply to ensure the patient's treatment regimen is effective.

While other options mention temperature changes and normality of cloudiness in some types, the emphasis is on confirming the effectiveness and safety of the insulin used. For the types of insulin that are meant to remain clear, cloudiness is not standard and should prompt action.
