A patient with diabetes has an elevated blood sugar (545 mg/dL) and, based on your assessment of his condition, will require
an injection of insulin. Your EMT partner also has diabetes and administers insulin injections to himself throughout the day as needed. Although the Scope of Practice lists nothing about EMTs giving insulin, your partner administers the insulin injection to the patient. The patient's blood sugar comes down and her condition improves. Given this information, which statement is true? A. Because your partner used the patient's insulin rather than his own, he cannot be reprimanded
B. It was permissible for your partner to give the insulin since he has diabetes and knows how to give the injections
C. Since the patient benefited from the insulin, your partner acted appropriately
D. Your partner violated the Scope of Practice and may have his certification revoked
