Pharmacological and Parenteral TherapiesQuestion 1307 of 2368
Which statement by a parent shows that teaching about giving digoxin to an infant was effective?
- I will give the medicine separately with the dropper and not mix it in formula
- I will mix the medicine in the bottle so my baby takes it more easily
- I will repeat the dose if my baby spits up soon afterward
- I will give a double dose the next time if I miss one
Show answer
Correct answer: I will give the medicine separately with the dropper and not mix it in formula
Mixing may mean the infant does not finish the bottle and misses part of the dose. Missed or vomited doses are not repeated.
