What effect can moderate to severe hypokalemia have on digoxin therapy?
A.   Hypokalemia increases the excretion rate of digoxin; therefore, digoxin must be given twice each day.
B.   Hypokalemia increases the half-life of digoxin; therefore, digoxin must be given every other day.
C.   Hypokalemia increases the sensitivity of excitable membranes to digoxin; therefore, toxic effects may occur with normal doses.
D.   Hypokalemia decreases the sensitivity of excitable membranes to digoxin; therefore, higher doses of digoxin are required to achieve a therapeutic effect.
