Based on a clientÔÇÖs serum digoxin level, the client is diagnosed with digoxin toxicity. Which action should the nurse expect to implement?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Digoxin toxicity risks hyperkalemia and arrhythmias. Checking acid-base and electrolyte values (C) guides treatment (e.g., digoxin-specific Fab). Potassium (A) may worsen hyperkalemia. Cardioversion (B) is not primary. Changing routes (D) is irrelevant; digoxin is stopped.
