Try a sample question
An alert adult with diabetes has a glucose level of 62 mg/dL and can swallow safely. The protocol calls for oral treatment.
Which option is appropriate initially?
- A glass of water.
- Glucose tablets totaling 15 grams of carbohydrate.
- An extra dose of rapid-acting insulin.
- A sugar-free soft drink.
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. Glucose tablets totaling 15 grams of carbohydrate.
Fast-acting carbohydrate treats mild hypoglycemia.
Why the other options don’t fit
Water supplies no glucose. Insulin can lower glucose further. A sugar-free drink does not supply needed carbohydrate.
