Correct Answer: D

Question 4 of 5
When caring for a client prescribed Digoxin, which finding should the nurse monitor to assess for potential toxicity?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bradycardia is a common sign of Digoxin toxicity. Digoxin, a cardiac glycoside, can lead to toxic effects such as bradycardia, which is a slow heart rate. Therefore, the nurse should closely monitor the client's heart rate for any significant decreases, as this could indicate Digoxin toxicity and prompt further intervention.

A client has a new prescription for Enalapril. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A persistent dry cough is a common adverse effect of Enalapril, which is an ACE inhibitor. Enalapril can cause the accumulation of bradykinin, leading to cough. If the client experiences a persistent dry cough, it is essential to notify the healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible medication adjustment.
