A patient is helped into a dorsal recumbent position so they may be examined by a medical assistant. The patient is positioned in this posture by lying face up, with the feet flat on the table and the legs bent.

The dorsal recumbent position is used for preparation for an exam like vaginal examinations, using obstetric forceps, and other operations. The patient is positioned on their back with their lower limbs flexed and turned outward. It is one of the frequently utilized dorsal or supine postures in clinical practices. Additionally, the terms "supine posture" and "dorsal recumbent position" are sometimes interchanged. To be more specific though, there is little distinction between the two locations.

To maximize absorption of digoxin, the nurse would instruct the patient to take the drug?
enyata [817]

To maximize absorption of digoxin, the nurse would instruct the patient to take the drug on an empty stomach.

Digoxin is absorbed, mainly in the small intestine, and certain drugs that can reduce digoxin absorption include antacids, magnecholestyramine, etc.  

Digoxin is a class of drug called a cardiac glycoside. Their function is to reduce the heart rate and improve the filling of ventricles (chambers of the heart) with blood. It is generally prescribed to people with atrial fibrillation, who have irregular heartbeats and as a result, a different quantity of blood is pumped out with each beat.

How is the heart still able to function when a person is in a coma and has lost many functions in parts of their cerebrum?
galina1969 [7]

If brain death is confirmed, why does an individual's heart continue beating? As long as the heart has oxygen, it can continue to work. The ventilator provides enough oxygen to keep the heart beating for several hours. Without this artificial help, the heart would stop beating.
