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. - ANSWER ✔✔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).

, Clients with primary aldosteronism exhibit a profound decline in the
serum levels of potassium (C) (hypokalemia)--hypertension is the most
prominent and universal sign. (A) is normal or elevated, depending on
the amount of water reabsorbed with the sodium. (B) is decreased with
diabetes insipidus. (D) is not affected by primary aldosteronism.

prepare the client for which treatment protocol?
A) Diuretic therapy.
B) Pacemaker implantation.
C) Anticoagulation therapy.
D) Cardiac catheterization. - ANSWER ✔✔C) Anticoagulation
therapy.
The client is experiencing atrial fibrillation, and the nurse should prepare
the client for anticoagulation therapy (C) which should be prescribed
before rhythm control therapies to prevent cardioembolic events which
result from blood pooling in the fibrillating atria. (A, B, and D) are not
indicated.
