Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Patients who stop taking this drug abruptly can experience palpitations. Diuretics do not decrease drug effectiveness. Dizziness and nausea and vomiting are common side effects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, E
Vomiting, yellow haloes in the visual field, and diarrhea are classic signs of digoxin toxicity. Bradycardia, not tachycardia, will likely be noted.
