Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a group of toddlers receiving digoxin therapy. For which of the following clients should the nurse plan to hold the dose of digoxin?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because vomiting can lead to decreased absorption of digoxin, potentially resulting in subtherapeutic levels. Holding the dose in this situation prevents giving an ineffective dose. Option A is incorrect because an apical pulse of 100 bpm is within the normal range for toddlers on digoxin. Option B is incorrect because a potassium level of 4.0 mEq/L is also within the normal range. Option C is incorrect because a digoxin level of 1.2 ng/mL falls within the therapeutic range.
