Your patient is a 39-year-old type I diabetic male with a history of alcoholism who presents on the floor after taking his insulin and skipping breakfast. You note cool, clammy skin and a weak, rapid pulse of 108. BP = 128/92, RR = 12 and regular, SpO2 = 96%, blood glucose is 21 mg/dL. Your partner assists the patient's respirations with 100% oxygen and a BVM; oxygen saturation rises to 100%. You cannot initiate IV access after two attempts. Further appropriate treatment would include:
A) 50% dextrose IM, thiamine 100 mg IM, cardiac monitor, transport.
