Question:

Which of these actions would be least appropriate when the PN is caring for a patient with an active Digoxin IV order?

A Monitor respirations during administration.
explanation

When administering Digoxin, the patient’s pulse should always be assessed first. If the HR is below 60 bpm, the medication should be withheld. To decrease the risk of Digoxin toxicity, the patient’s EKG rhythm should be monitored throughout the administration, and the drug should be administered over at least 5 minutes.
