Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the patient to consult the primary health care provider if severe or recurrent pain persists for more than 10 days. No over-the-counter (OTC) drugs should be taken without first consulting the primary health care provider. If the drug is used to reduce fever, contact the primary health care provider if the temperature continues to remain elevated for more than 1 day, not 3 days.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The risk of liver failure during acetaminophen therapy increases in clients who drink alcohol habitually. Clients with diabetes, high blood pressure, or urinary tract infections are not at a significantly greater risk for liver failure.
