The nurse has to administer digoxin to the patient. Before administering the medication, which pulse does she have to take?

Apical pulse

Radial pulse

Brachial pulse

Carotid pulse

Hint : ❤️ Check apical = digoxin safety.

Correct Answers:

Apical pulse

Rationale :

💎 Digoxin slows conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) node, and bradycardia is a major adverse effect.

💎 The apical pulse is assessed for 1 full minute to obtain the most accurate heart rate before administration.

💎 If the apical pulse is <60 bpm in adults, <70 bpm in children, or <90 bpm in infants, the medication should be withheld, and the provider notified.
