Dispatched last night for difficulty breathing. Arrived to find patient c/o n/v. Difficulty breathing earlier in the day, but took 1 nitro tab which relieved symptoms. Stated he was diabetic, so I obtained BG which stated 47. The AIC in charge gave the tube to the PT and told him to eat it slowly. I was always taught in EMT class that you never want the patient to "eat" the oral glucose, but to put it on a tongue deppressor and apply it between the cheek and the gum. Which is the right answer, or are they both acceptable??
Thanks.
