You and the police are dispatched to a private residence to check on the welfare of an individual who didn’t show up for work or call in sick. Upon your arrival, you meet the resident’s sister, who lets you in the house. You find a 38-year-old female lying on the bathroom floor. She is unresponsive to all stimuli. You notice a Medic Alert bracelet that states she is a diabetic. There is a glucometer on the counter. Which of the following is your next step?
A) Administer oral glucose, as it will not cause additional harm in hyperglycemia, but may prevent brain damage if the patient is hypoglycemic
B) Apply oxygen and begin transport without taking further action
C) Ask the sister to use the patient’s glucometer to check blood sugar level
D) Use the patient’s glucometer to check her blood sugar level
