Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer a dose of digoxin (Lanoxin) to a child in heart failure (HF). Which is a beneficial effect of administering digoxin (Lanoxin)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Digoxin is a medication commonly used in the treatment of heart failure (HF) because of its positive inotropic effect, which means it strengthens the heart muscle. While digoxin does not directly decrease edema, its ability to increase the strength of the heart muscle allows the heart to pump more effectively. When the heart is pumping blood more efficiently, it can help reduce fluid accumulation in the body, including edema.
Question 4 of 5
Which points should a nurse includes in the discharge teaching plan for a client after cardiac surgery?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. In the discharge teaching plan for a client after cardiac surgery, it is important for the nurse to include education on monitoring for signs of complications, such as notifying the physician if a painless lump is felt at the top of the chest incision. This could potentially indicate a seroma or hematoma, which may require medical attention. By educating the client on this specific point, the nurse helps to promote early detection and prompt management of any post-operative issues, which contributes to better outcomes for the client. The other options mentioned are important aspects of post-cardiac surgery care but do not address the specific concern of a painless lump at the chest incision site.
