Question 1 of 5
Based on a client’s serum digoxin level, the client is diagnosed with digoxin toxicity. Which action should the nurse expect to implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Check acid-base and electrolyte values. Digoxin toxicity can be influenced by electrolyte imbalances, particularly potassium levels. Checking acid-base and electrolyte values can help identify any imbalances contributing to the digoxin toxicity. Administering potassium (choice
A) may worsen digoxin toxicity if levels are already elevated. Beginning cardioversion (choice
B) is not appropriate as it is used for unstable arrhythmias, not digoxin toxicity. Giving digoxin by another route (choice
D) is not recommended as it does not address the underlying issue of toxicity.
