A 19-year-old patient with a history of asthma has had difficulty breathing since this morning. The parent says the patient has been tired for weeks and has been drinking constantly since last week. The patient is alert, speaks in full sentences, and breathes deeply without using accessory muscles. The vital signs are BP 104/64, P 126, R 32, and SpO₂ 99% on room air. Breath sounds are clear in all fields. The EtCO₂ is 19 mmHg with a squared-off waveform, and the blood glucose level is 386 mg/dL. What should the AEMT do next?
