QUESTION 5--A 65-year-old patient with a history of diabetes is breathing deeply and rapidly. Her husband found her unconscious. Your patient is most likely suffering from what?
Correct Incorrect In a case of diabetic shock, blood sugar levels drop so low that another person's help is required. The patient is in a state of severe hypoglycemia (aka, dangerously low blood sugar), which can lead to a diabetic coma. The unconscious patient requires a glucagon shot, which should bring them back in about fifteen minutes.
