Cardiac Disorders NCLEX Questions Nursing Practice Question
The nurse is transcribing the doctor's orders for a client with congestive heart failure. The order reads 2.5 mg of Lanoxin daily. Which action should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Lanoxin (digoxin) 2.5 mg (A) exceeds the safe dose (0.125–0.25 mg daily), requiring HCP clarification. Pulse (B), potassium (C), and digoxin level (D) are routine but secondary to dose error.
