Furosemide (Lasix) -
correct answer ✅Class: Loop diuretic
Safe dose range: 20-80 mg PO daily to start
(some people may be on up to 2.5 g for renal disease or HF)
Digoxin (Lanoxin) -
correct answer ✅Class: Cardiac glycoside
MoA: Inhibits Na+/K+ ATPase enzyme (prevents Na+ from getting
pumped out) -> increased intracellular Na+ and more Ca2+ in
cardiomyocytes (more Ca2+ to bind to troponin -> positive
inotropic effect -> stronger heart contractions + prolonged AV
refractory period)
-> net effect is increased efficiency, increased CO, and decreased HR
Safe dose range (PO Adults): Loading dose: 0.75-1.5 mg given as
50% of the dose initially and one quarter of the initial dose in each
of 2 subsequent doses at 6-12 hr intervals. Maintenance dose:
0.125-0.5 mg/day depending on patient's lean body weight, renal
function, and serum level
Cautions:
-narrow therapeutic range

-safe serum concentration is 0.5-2 ng/mL (0.6-1.2 nmol/L)
Digoxin toxicity -
correct answer ✅GI disturbances ( i.e., nausea, vomiting, anorexia,
and rarely diarrhea)
Neurologic symptoms (i.e., confusion and disorientation)
Bradycardia, heart block, arrhythmia
Visual disturbances (i.e., diplopia, blurred vision, xanthopsia)
Hyperkalemia
How is digoxin toxicity treated? -
correct answer ✅Correction of electrolyte disturbances (slowly in
the case of K+)
digoxin-specific antibody fragment (Digoxin Immune Fab, or
Digibind)

What amount of weight gain is concerning for a pt w/CHF? -
correct answer ✅2-3 lbs of weight gain per week is concerning ->
warrants contacting HCP

correct answer ✅Beta-blocker/antiHTN
Safe dose range: PO 2.5-20 mg/day
-> additive bradycardia may occur w/digoxin
->take apical pulse before administering; if HR <50 or arrhythmia
occurs, hold med and contact MRP
Lisinopril -
correct answer ✅ACE inhibitor
Safe dose range 20-40 mg/day PO
*may cause additive hypotension if given w/diuretics
