ATI RN Pharmacology Proctored Exam Questions

Question 1 of 5

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

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Taking a high ceiling diuretic. High ceiling diuretics, such as furosemide, can lead to hypokalemia, which increases the risk of digoxin toxicity. Digoxin competes with potassium for binding sites on the Na+/K+-ATPase pump in the heart, so low potassium levels can lead to an increased concentration of digoxin in the body, predisposing the client to toxicity.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not directly impact digoxin levels or toxicity. A history of COPD (
B) or a prolapsed mitral valve (
C) do not specifically predispose a client to digoxin toxicity. Taking an HMG CoA reductase inhibitor (
D) does not interact directly with digoxin.
