A nurse is caring for an infant who has heart failure and vomited following administration of digoxin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administer the next dose as prescribed. Digoxin is a medication commonly used to treat heart failure in infants. Vomiting after administration does not necessarily mean the medication was not absorbed. It is important to follow the prescribed dosing schedule to maintain therapeutic levels in the bloodstream. Giving an antiemetic (option
A) may not be necessary if the vomiting was a one-time occurrence. Increasing fluid intake (option
B) may not be appropriate without further assessment. Mixing the medication with formula (option
C) may alter the absorption rate. Administering the next dose as prescribed ensures continuity of care and adherence to the treatment plan.
