I'm using a book called "REA's Interactive Flashcards" for EMT-Basic. There is a question that says you have a diabetic who took his insulin, but did not eat breakfast, what should you do first? A. give O2. B. Give oral glucose. C. Administer insulin D. Contact Medical control.
In my EMT class all test questions assumed that local protocols were to contact medical control before giving anything. But the book says B (give oral glucose) is the correct answer. So my question is, on the NREMT do you contact medical control first or administer?
