A nurse is caring for a preschooler who has diabetes mellitus and is pale, diaphoretic, and irritable. The child's blood glucose level is 52 mg/dL. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Rationale:A) Peanut butter is not a rapidly absorbed source of glucose and may not be appropriate for treating hypoglycemia.B) While rechecking the child's blood glucose level is important, immediate treatment should be initiated for symptomatic hypoglycemia.C) Administering a rapidly absorbed source of sugar, such as 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey, is the priority intervention for treating hypoglycemia in a conscious child.D) Documenting the incident is important but should not delay the administration of treatment for hypoglycemia.
