Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has heart failure and a prescription for digoxin. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an adverse effect of the medication?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Nausea and loss of appetite are common adverse effects of digoxin, indicating toxicity. Digoxin can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, leading to decreased appetite and nausea. This can occur even when the medication is at therapeutic levels, making it important for the nurse to monitor the client closely for signs of toxicity. The other options are not indicative of digoxin toxicity. A backache could be due to other causes, increased urination may be a sign of improved cardiac output, and the ability to walk a mile a day indicates improved exercise tolerance.
