Question Image

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: This client is showing manifestations of digitalis toxicity. The client's bradycardia, anorexia, and vomiting are classic signs of this potentially fatal toxicity. The nurse should immediately establish continuous cardiac monitoring because, if untreated, digitalis toxicity may cause multifocal premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) that may transition to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Because of digitalis' ability to have a negative chronotropic effect, bradycardia is often seen in toxicity.
