Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 2. The client received insulin via the subcutaneous (SQ) route, which was given by the primary nurse and verified with a secondary nurse. One hour after administration, the client was not able to follow commands with a blood glucose reading of 30 mg/dL. The nurse should expect an order for which of the following medications?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Glucagon (GlucaGen). Glucagon is the medication of choice for treating severe hypoglycemia in clients with diabetes. It works by stimulating the release of glucose from the liver, raising blood sugar levels quickly. In this scenario, the client's blood glucose reading of 30 mg/dL indicates severe hypoglycemia, which can lead to unconsciousness or coma if not treated promptly. Metformin (
A) is not indicated for acute hypoglycemia but rather for managing blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes. Glipizide (
C) is a sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin release and can further lower blood sugar levels. Insulin (
D) would worsen hypoglycemia in this situation.
