ATI Pharmacology Exam 2 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has atrial fibrillation and receives digoxin daily. Before administering this medication, which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Measure the client's apical pulse. Before administering digoxin, it is essential to assess the client's apical pulse because digoxin affects the heart rate. Atrial fibrillation can cause irregular heartbeats, and digoxin helps to regulate the heart rate in such cases.
Therefore, monitoring the apical pulse allows the nurse to ensure that the heart rate is within the appropriate range before giving the medication. Weighing the client (
A) and measuring blood pressure (
B) are not directly related to assessing the client's response to digoxin. Offering a light snack (
D) is not necessary before administering digoxin.
