M.G.'s symptoms improve with intravenous diuretics and the digoxin. She is placed back on oral furosemide (Lasix) once her weight loss is deemed adequate for achievement of a euvolemic state.
 
  What will determine whether the oral dose will be adequate for discharge to be considered?

Question 2

When preparing to give the digoxin, you notice that it is available in milligrams (mg) not micrograms (mcg).
 
  Convert 125 mcg to mg.

Answer to Question 1

It is critical to provide the primary care provider with accurate, timely assessment data after the
change from intravenous to oral diuretic therapy. One of the fluid management goals for patients
with HF is to maintain a target weight. This is done by monitoring daily morning weight, keeping an
accurate I&O, and recording subjective symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

125mcg= 0.125mg
If the student answers .125 mg the answer should be incorrect, because, per the Joint Commission
Do Not Use list, the leading zero should not be omitted.
