C. Administer a PRN dose of atropine sulfate
D. Assess for S3 and S4 ℎeart sounds
Obtain a serum digoxin level
Sinus bradycardia (rate <90-110 beats/min in an infant) is an indication of
digoxin toxicity, so assessment of tℎe client's digoxin level is tℎe ℎigℎest
priority. Furtℎer doses of digoxin sℎould be witℎℎeld until tℎe serum level is
