The nurse is caring for a client prescribed digoxin to help manage heart failure. Which manifestations correlate with a digoxin level of 2.3 ng/dL? (Select all that apply.)
Correct answer
B,D,E
Rationale
The correct manifestations correlating with a digoxin level of 2.3 ng/dL are Nausea, Seeing halos around bright objects, and Photophobia. Nausea is a common side effect of digoxin toxicity. Seeing halos around bright objects is a sign of visual disturbances associated with digoxin toxicity. Photophobia is sensitivity to light, which can occur with digoxin toxicity. Increased appetite and energy levels are not typically associated with digoxin toxicity and are therefore incorrect choices.
