Question 1 of 5
The parent of the child brought to the ED states to the nurse, “My child is sweaty and shaky; I think some of my medication is gone.†The parent hands the nurse the medication bottle illustrated. Which action should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A: Initiating an IV access for glucose administration is more time-consuming than giving glucose by the oral route or glucagon (GlucaGen) subcutaneously to a child who is still responsive. B: An oral form of glucose should be administered if the child is responsive and glucagon given only if the child is unresponsive or too uncooperative or upset to take oral glucose. Glucagon stimulates the release of liver glycogen and releases glucose into the circulation. C: The child may have ingested the glipizide (Glucotrol XL), a sustained-released hypoglycemic agent. The child's blood glucose level should be checked first to determine the appropriate treatment. D: Determining the number of tablets taken may delay the child's treatment.
