Turn the client to the side.
C, D, E, F
Rationale:Oral carbohydrates, such as sugar and honey, should never be given to the
semiconscious or unconscious clients with low blood sugar levels, for concern for aspiration.
, Glucagon can be administered immediately, followed by starting an IV. Await the orders for the
50% dextrose solution. Place the client in a side lying position as there is a risk for vomiting and
aspiration with these clients.

should be between 80 and 120 mm Hg, not 190 mm Hg. The catheter should be withdrawn 1 to
2 cm at a time with intermittent, not continuous, suction. Option D introduces pathogens
unnecessarily into the tracheobronchial tree.
