Question 1 of 5
The nurse caring for a child with congestive heart failure who will be discharged to home provides instructions to the parents regarding the administration of digoxin. Which statement by the mother indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside and should not be mixed with food or formula because this method may not ensure the child receives the entire dose if the food is not fully consumed. Checking the child's pulse, not repeating the dose after vomiting, and verifying the dose with another person are correct interventions to ensure safe administration.
