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.
