Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In children, digoxin toxicity is often first detected by the development of atrial dysrhythmias. Hallucinations, weakness, and diuresis are not initial manifestations of digoxin toxicity in children.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Furosemide is a potassium-depleting diuretic. Low potassium levels potentiate digoxin toxicity. Taking potassium supplements with a diuretic prevents digoxin toxicity. Aspirin and antibiotics do not affect digoxin levels.
