- Analyze this situation: Mr. R. is an alert, anxious-appearing, frail gentleman, 76 years old, weighing 65 kilograms. He has been admitted to the hospital two days before with complaints of chest pain. His medication orders included Lanoxin 125 mcg daily every morning. This was the only medication ordered for the morning. On hand on the floor in the nursing station was digoxin (Lanoxin) 0.25 mg/tablet. The patient mentions to the head nurse on the floor that his doctor must have changed his medication order because for two days he had been taking only a half of a tablet in the morning, and yesterday and today, his new nurse had given him two tablets each day. His wife agreed. He wanted to know if this meant that his heart problem was getting worse.
