Management of unconscious hypoglycemic patient:
- NEVER give anything orally to an unconscious patient — risk of aspiration
- IV Dextrose 50% (D50W) — 25–50 mL IV push is the immediate treatment for unconscious hypoglycemia
- If IV access unavailable: Glucagon 1 mg IM/SC (stimulates hepatic glycogenolysis)
For conscious patients: oral glucose (15g fast-acting carbohydrates — 4 glucose tablets, 125 mL juice) → Rule of 15:
\\text{Give 15g carbohydrates} \\rightarrow \\text{Wait 15 min} \\rightarrow \\text{Recheck glucose} \\rightarrow \\text{Repeat if still} < 70 \\text{ mg/dL}
Critical distinction: In this question, the patient is unconscious — oral route is contraindicated. D50W IV is the answer.
Latest means the most recent one (and implies he still has it). Last means the final one or the one before the current, often implying it is finished. Since he is currently enjoying the job, it must be his current/most recent job — so latest is correct. Previous means the one before the current one, which contradicts “enjoying.”
Correct Answer: A — latest.
