Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clients prescribed digoxin may experience mental changes such as feelings of depression, and it is important for the nurse to educate the client to report these changes to the healthcare provider. Reporting a metallic taste in the mouth or stopping the prescription if the pulse is irregular are not appropriate interventions. Taking two doses if a dose is missed can lead to digoxin toxicity and is not advised.
