Question 3 of 5

An adult is taking digoxin and furosemide. Which laboratory value is of greatest concern to the nurse?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Furosemide, a diuretic, can cause hypokalemia (low potassium), increasing the risk of digoxin toxicity. A serum K+ of 3.0 mEq/L is below normal (3.5-5.0 mEq/L), posing a significant risk. The digoxin level is therapeutic (0.5-2.0 ng/mL), and BUN and Mg are within normal ranges.

Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Following a radical neck dissection, monitoring the tracheostomy site for bleeding or swelling is critical due to the risk of hematoma or airway obstruction, which can be life-threatening. Suctioning and care are important but follow a schedule or as needed, and patency assessment is less urgent than monitoring for surgical complications.
