Adult client is being admitted to the hospital for surgery


Problem: An older adult client is being admitted to the hospital for surgery. The nurse is reconciling the client's medications. The client is prescribed digoxin 0.125 mg daily, furosemide 40 mg two times a day, Lanoxin 0.125 mg daily, metoprolol XL 25 mg once a day, and pravastatin (Pravachol) 40 mg at hours of sleep daily. The nurse recognizes a problem when the nurse notes: furosemide is not recommended to be given two times a day. digoxin and Lanoxin are the same medications. pravastatin should be taken in the morning and not the evening. the dose of metoprolol XL is too small for an extended-release medication.
