Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has heart failure and is taking digoxin. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse report to the provider as an indication of digoxin toxicity?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Vomiting. Digoxin toxicity can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and anorexia. Vomiting is a common early sign of digoxin toxicity and should be reported to the provider promptly. Dilated pupils, bruising, and peripheral edema are not typically associated with digoxin toxicity. Dilated pupils can be a sign of anticholinergic toxicity, bruising could indicate a bleeding disorder, and peripheral edema is a common symptom of heart failure itself. It is important for the nurse to recognize and report the specific manifestations of digoxin toxicity to ensure prompt intervention and prevent further complications.
