Three hours after self-administering regular insulin subcutaneously, the client contacts you at the provider's office by telephone to report that she is shaking, sweating, and has a rapid pulse. Which of the following actions should you NOT advise her to take? (Select All That Apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B
Rationale: The correct answers are A and B. A - Taking an oral hypoglycemic agent is not advisable as the client may already be experiencing hypoglycemia due to the regular insulin. B - Self-administering a long-acting insulin at this point could worsen the hypoglycemia. C - Checking blood glucose level is important to confirm hypoglycemia. D - Drinking orange juice can quickly raise blood glucose levels.
Therefore, advising the client to take an oral hypoglycemic agent or self-administer a long-acting insulin could exacerbate the current hypoglycemic state.
