The first thing that I should do is

1. Administer oral glucose.

2. Contact medical control.

Insulin helps in leveling of sugar from either going high or getting low. It is termed as the body to use glucose from carbohydrates which is got from food.

Sugar is needed by cells in order to have energy where it can not go direct. Insulin is termed as the main key which acts as a lock to unlock the cell so as to allow sugar to be used as energy and enter into the cell.

Assuming this is for an EMT-B course, you would call your medical director for direction and give oral glucose if they are alert enough to control their own airway.

If this is for a Paramedic course, you will start an IV and administer D50 at a slow push.

How are things transported through the membrane
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The mechanisms of transport across the cell membrane are as follow: 1- simple diffusion, 2- facilitated diffusion, 3- primary active transport and 4-secondary active transport

Explanation:

The cell membrane is a selectively permeable structure capable of transporting substances by different mechanisms. Simple diffusion is a type of passive transport (i.e. does not require energy) where non-polar molecules (e.g. O2, CO2) pass across the membrane by a process that does not require energy from the cell. Facilitated diffusion is another type of passive transport where larger polar molecules (e.g., glucose and amino acids) pass across the membrane by using specific transmembrane integral proteins. On the other hand, primary active transport is a type of active transport that uses chemical energy (e.g., ATP) to move substances such as metal ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+) across the cell membrane against their concentration gradient. Finally, secondary active transport is another type of active transport where transporter proteins are used to couple the movement of ions (e.g., H+ protons) down their electrochemical gradient to the transport of another ions/solutes against their concentration/ electrochemical gradient.
