70% to pass

What should be given to a diabetic who suffers an insulin reaction and is conscious?

A soda crackers and water
B a glass of milk
C orange juice
D an ounce of whiskey
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) orange juice. When a diabetic suffers an insulin reaction and is conscious, the appropriate treatment is to provide them with a fast-acting carbohydrate source to raise their blood sugar levels. Orange juice is an ideal choice as it is high in sugar and quickly absorbed, helping to alleviate the symptoms of the insulin reaction. The other options are not recommended. Soda crackers and water (A) would not provide a sufficient amount of carbohydrates, milk (B) is not a fast-acting carbohydrate source, and whiskey (D) would further lower blood sugar levels and should be avoided.
