Digoxin is a high-yield NCLEX medication, and understanding when to hold or give the dose can be the difference between a correct exam answer and a missed question.
In this video, I break down Digoxin for the NCLEX in a simple, test-focused way. You'll learn how Digoxin works, why potassium levels matter, and the key signs of Digoxin toxicity that the NCLEX loves to test — including the classic yellow or green halos.
We also walk through an NCLEX-style clinical scenario so you’ll know exactly what to do when a patient taking Digoxin has hypokalemia or a low heart rate.
In this lesson you'll learn:
• How Digoxin increases cardiac output
• Why Digoxin is used in heart failure and atrial fibrillation
• The therapeutic range for Digoxin (0.5–2.0)
• Why low potassium increases Digoxin toxicity risk
• When nurses should hold Digoxin and notify the provider
• Classic Digoxin toxicity symptoms the NCLEX tests
• Important nursing interventions and patient teaching
If you're studying for the NCLEX-RN, these are the key concepts you need to know for exam questions and safe patient care.
