the healthcare provider if the client's
A) serum digoxin level is 1.5.
B) blood pressure is 104/68.
C) serum potassium level is 3.
D) apical pulse is 68/min.
C) serum potassium level is 3.
Hypokalemia (C) can precipitate digitalis toxicity in persons receiving
digoxin which will increase the chance of dangerous dysrhythmias
(normal potassium level is 3.5 to 5.5 mEq/L). The therapeutic range for
digoxin is 0.8 to 2 ng/ml (toxic levels= >2 ng/ml); (A) is within this
range. (B) would not warrant the nurse withholding the digoxin. The
, nurse should withhold the digoxin if the apical pulse is less than
60/min (D).
