Question

What is the criteria for treat and discharge (if authorized) under the Hypoglycemia Medical Directive? (all must be met)

Answer 1

The criteria for treat and discharge under the Hypoglycemia Medical Directive are: identity verification, evaluation of airway and aspiration risk, and availability of access and fluids in case of blood loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

The criteria for treating and discharging a patient under the Hypoglycemia Medical Directive are as follows:

1. The patient must have verified their identity, the surgical site, and procedure, and given consent.
2. The patient's airway and risk of aspiration have been evaluated and appropriate equipment and assistance are available.
3. If there is a risk of blood loss of at least 500 ml (or 7 ml/kg of body weight in children), appropriate access and fluids are available.

All three of these criteria must be met in order to treat and discharge a patient under the Hypoglycemia Medical Directive.
