A patient becomes hypoglycemic in the dental chair. Which action should you NOT do?

Giving insulin to a hypoglycemic patient would dangerously lower blood glucose further; the correct treatment is to RAISE glucose with oral carbohydrate (conscious) or IV dextrose/glucagon (unconscious).Other options: Giving glucose, halting the procedure, and seeking help are all appropriate.Key exam takeaway: Hypoglycemia = give sugar, never insulin. 'Rule of 15' for conscious patients.
