Question

which of the following should not be used to treat low blood sugar?
4 ounces of orange juice (120 ml)
d50 iv
4 glucose tabs
8 ounces of diet soda (240 ml)

Explanation:

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) requires treatment with sources of fast-acting glucose. Orange juice, D50 IV (50% dextrose intravenous solution), and glucose tabs all contain glucose that can quickly raise blood sugar. Diet soda uses artificial sweeteners and contains no glucose, so it cannot treat low blood sugar.

Answer:

8 ounces of diet soda (240 mL)
