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.

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is psychotropic medications.

Explanation:

An eating disorder featured by unusual low body weight, distorted perception of weight, and an intense fear of gaining weight is known as anorexia nervosa. In order to restrict weight gain or to lose weight spontaneously, the individuals with the condition generally limit the amount of food they consume severely.  

The treatment of the condition is usually done with the help of a team that comprises mental health professionals, doctors, and dietitians. Some kind of therapies and education regarding nutrition play an essential part in spontaneous recovery.  

One of the prime objectives of the treatment is to restore a healthy weight. Some of the psychotherapies like family-based therapy play an essential part in the treatment of anorexia nervosa. There is a need for the individual to restore healthy eating habits.  

However, no medicines are approved to treat the condition as none has been witnessed to work very well. Some of the antidepressants or psychotropic medications can be used to treat other mental health conditions like anxiety or depression, but not anorexia nervosa. A mental health professional or a psychologist can work with one to create behavioral strategies to help one in returning to a healthy weight.
