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.

Which part of nephron allows the selective reabsorption of useful substances like glucose, amino acids, salts and water into the

FrozenT [24]

The <u>proximal convoluted tubule</u> of the nephron allows the selective reabsorption of useful substances like glucose, amino acids, salts, and water into the blood capillaries.

In the nephron, the proximal convoluted tubule is located between the loop of Henle and Bowman's capsule.

It is the key part of the kidney. The most prominent function of this structure is to reabsorb water, sugar molecules, chloride, and sodium ions from the glomerular filtrate.

The reabsorption of fluids takes place when bulk volumes of sugar and water are transported from PCT to the bloodstream.
