Question 1 of 5

The unresponsive client with DM is admitted to the ED with a serum glucose level of 35 mg/dL. Which medication should the nurse plan to administer?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A: Exenatide (Byetta), a synthetic incretin mimetic, is used as an adjunct in type 2 diabetes to decrease blood glucose levels. B: Pramlintide (Symlin) lowers postprandial glucose levels by slowing gastric emptying. C: Miglitol (Glyset), an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, lowers postprandial serum glucose levels. D: The nurse should plan to administer glucagon (GlucaGen). Glucagon, administered intramuscularly, intravenously, or subcutaneously, is used in unconscious clients with diabetes to reverse severe hypoglycemia from insulin overdose. Normal serum glucose is 70 to 110 mg/dL.
