Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gastrointestinal absorption of digoxin is erratic.Many medications,especially antacids,interfere with its absorption.Clients are taught to hold their digoxin for bradycardia; a heart rate of 80 beats/min is too high for this cutoff.Potassium and aspirin have no impact on digoxin absorption,nor do these statements decrease complications of digoxin therapy.
