Question 1 of 5

A client diagnosed with heart failure is receiving furosemide and digoxin daily. When the nurse enters the room to administer the morning doses, the client reports anorexia, nausea, and yellow vision. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The nurse should check the result of the digoxin level that was drawn because the client's symptoms are compatible with digoxin toxicity. A low potassium level may contribute to digoxin toxicity, so checking the serum potassium level may give useful additional information, but the digoxin level should be checked first. The medications should be withheld until both levels are known. If the digoxin level is elevated or the potassium level is not within the normal range, then the primary health care provider should be notified. If the morning digoxin level is within the therapeutic range, then the client's complaints are unrelated to the digoxin.
