Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing an older adult client who is receiving digoxin. The nurse should recognize that which of the following findings is a manifestation of digoxin toxicity?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Anorexia. Anorexia is a common manifestation of digoxin toxicity due to its effects on the gastrointestinal system. Digoxin toxicity can lead to nausea, vomiting, and anorexia, which can result in weight loss and electrolyte imbalances. Ataxia (
A) is more commonly associated with cerebellar disorders, not digoxin toxicity. Photosensitivity (
B) is not a known symptom of digoxin toxicity. Jaundice (
D) is a sign of liver dysfunction, not digoxin toxicity.
Therefore, the most appropriate finding to indicate digoxin toxicity in this scenario is anorexia.
