Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who is lethargic, diaphoretic, and difficult to arouse. The client's blood sugar result was 40 mg/dL. The nurse anticipates which of the following to be administered?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: IVP dextrose 50%. This is the correct choice because the client is experiencing severe hypoglycemia with a blood sugar level of 40 mg/dL, which can lead to serious complications like seizures or coma. Administering intravenous dextrose 50% provides a rapid and concentrated source of glucose to quickly raise the blood sugar levels and reverse the symptoms. Glucose tablets (choice
A) may not be fast-acting enough in this critical situation. Epinephrine (choice
B) is not indicated for hypoglycemia. Orange juice (choice
D) may be too slow to raise blood sugar levels significantly in this emergency setting.
