Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a group of toddlers receiving digoxin therapy. For which of the following toddlers should the nurse revise the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The nurse should revise the plan of care for the toddler who has vomited 2 times in the last hour. Vomiting can lead to decreased absorption of digoxin, potentially causing subtherapeutic levels and ineffective therapy. It is essential to ensure that the toddler retains the medication for it to be effective. A high apical pulse rate (choice
A) is an expected side effect of digoxin but does not necessarily require a plan revision. A potassium level within the normal range (choice
B) is appropriate for digoxin therapy. A digoxin level of 1.2 ng/mL (choice
D) falls within the therapeutic range, indicating effective treatment.
