A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the caregivers of an infant who has a prescription for digoxin. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Explanation & Rationale
A. "If your baby vomits a dose, you should repeat the dose to ensure that the correct amount is received.": If the baby vomits the dose, the caregiver should not repeat the dose unless instructed by the healthcare provider. B. "Do not offer your baby fluids after giving the medication.": Digoxin can be given with fluids, and withholding fluids is not necessary unless specified by a healthcare provider. C. "Digoxin increases your baby's heart rate.": Digoxin slows the heart rate, which helps in treating conditions like heart failure or arrhythmias. D. "Give the correct dose of medication at regularly scheduled times.": Regularity in administration is crucial to maintaining therapeutic drug levels and preventing toxicity.
