Correct Answer: 3,4,5
Rationale: Orange juice is a source of potassium, which will minimize the risk for digoxin (Lanoxin) toxicity. Nausea, by itself, may be a side effect, but it is not necessarily indicative of digoxin (Lanoxin) toxicity. Sixty beats per minute is the generally accepted limit for withholding digoxin (Lanoxin). Ginseng may increase the risk of digoxin (Lanoxin) toxicity. Dehydration can increase the risk for digoxin (Lanoxin) toxicity; the patient must not limit fluids.
