ATI RN Pharmacology 2023 III Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is taking digoxin to treat heart failure. Which of the following factors predisposes this client to developing digoxin toxicity?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Taking a high-ceiling diuretic. High-ceiling diuretics, such as furosemide, can cause hypokalemia, which increases the risk of digoxin toxicity. Digoxin toxicity occurs more frequently when potassium levels are low because digoxin competes with potassium for binding sites on the sodium-potassium pump in cardiac cells. Low potassium levels can lead to enhanced digoxin binding and subsequent toxicity. Other choices are incorrect because having a prolapsed mitral valve, a history of COPD, or taking an HMG CoA reductase inhibitor do not directly predispose a client to digoxin toxicity.
