Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse may administer antacids to minimize GI distress. Instead of orange juice, the nurse may administer the drug with milk to alleviate gastric upset. The nurse can also administer the drug with food to relieve gastric upset instead of giving the drug 3 hours before a meal. Including fiber-rich food in the patient's diet will not significantly relieve gastric upset.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The maximum daily dose of acetaminophen should not exceed 4 grams.
