Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 17

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
When mild hypoglycemia occurs, immediate treatment is necessary. People experiencing hypoglycemia should take about 15 g of a rapid-acting sugar. This amount of sugar is found in 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of fruit juice. After eating a carbohydrate source the patient should wait 15 minutes and then monitor blood glucose level. If the blood glucose remains low after 15 minutes, eat another 15 grams of carbohydrate. Blood glucose should be tested 1 hour after the blood glucose has reached  70 mg/dL because blood glucose levels may start to fall again after 1 hour. Adding sugar to the fruit sugar already in the juice could cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, with persistent hyperglycemia.
