Question Image

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Measure the client's apical pulse. This is crucial before administering digoxin because it helps monitor the client's heart rate, as digoxin can cause bradycardia or dysrhythmias. Monitoring the apical pulse ensures the heart rate is within the safe range for administering the medication.

The other choices are incorrect because:
B: Measuring the client's blood pressure is not specifically necessary before administering digoxin, as the primary concern is monitoring the heart rate.
C: Offering the client a light snack is irrelevant to the administration of digoxin and does not impact the medication's effectiveness or safety.
D: Weighing the client is not directly related to administering digoxin and does not provide information necessary for ensuring safe administration.
