As you drive the ambulance with lights and sirens activated to the hospital, the paramedic asks you to notify the receiving hospital since he is busy caring for the patient, who is critical. The paramedic tells you to specifically let the emergency department know that the patient's blood sugar is 15 mg/dL (very low). There is no history of diabetes. How should you state this information to the hospital?

A) "Be advised that the blood sugar is 15–that is, one-five mg/dL."
B) "The blood sugar is 15. Be advised that the paramedic, not I, checked the blood sugar."
C) "The patient is not a diabetic but has a low blood sugar."
D) "We have a blood sugar that is 15. I think that the patient is very critical."

A) "Be advised that the blood sugar is 15–that is, one-five mg/dL."
