Answer 1

Answer: The clotting test is the lab test used to measure the effect of warfarin. It is a laboratory test that measures the time it takes for a clot to form and it is measured in seconds, It is also known as Prothrombin time. It is particularly sensitive to the clotting factors affected by warfarin.

The antidote for digoxin is digibind, which is a Digoxin immune Fab (Digibind) is an immunoglobulin fragment that binds with digoxin.

The nurse should inform the patient that if the patient is taking digoxin then he should avoid taking antacids or antidiarrheals within 2 hr of digoxin. Because there will be drug interaction and it may cause many other problems to the patient. If there will be an adverse drug reaction then the patient will have increased palpitation.
