Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the purpose of oral glucose administration. Oral glucose is typically given to patients experiencing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) to quickly raise their blood sugar levels.

Step 2: Recognize the importance of patient safety. Oral glucose requires the patient to be able to swallow safely to prevent choking or aspiration.

Step 3: Evaluate the conditions listed in the problem. Conditions such as fever, hypertension, or chest pain are not directly relevant to the administration of oral glucose.

Step 4: Confirm the critical condition for oral glucose administration. The patient must be conscious and able to swallow to ensure safe and effective delivery of the glucose.

Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is based on the patient's ability to safely ingest the oral glucose, which is why the condition 'The patient is conscious and able to swallow' is essential.
