What is the action of Digoxin - (answers)inhibits sodium-potassium ATPase,
promoting increased force of cardiac contraction, cardiac out, and tissue
perfusion; decreases ventricular rate
What effects on the heart muscle does Digoxin influence? - (answers)increases
myocardial contractility; decreases HR; decreases conduction and increases
cardiac output
Digoxin therapeutic effects/ uses - (answers)treats heart failure and atrial
fibrillation
Therapeutic serum level for Digoxin - (answers)0.5-1 ng/mL
Important nursing implication the nurse should consider before administering
