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.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

≈ 0.94

Explanation:

Number of women diagnosed with Hypertension = 2700

Number without history of OC  = 1200

women with history of OC = 2700 - 1200 = 1500

300 out of 700 of women without hypertension do not have history of OC

400 out of 700 of women without hypertension have history of OC

<u>Determine the odds ratio between OC use and hypertension</u>

Hence :

The odds ratio = ( 1500 / 1200 ) / ( 400/300 )

                         = 1.25 / 1.333 = 0.9377 ≈ 0.94
