Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Inadvertent overdose with acetaminophen frequently occurs because of the combining of OTC drugs that contain the same ingredients. Parents should be taught to carefully check the labels of OTC products and follow the dosage guidelines. A prescription is not required for acetaminophen. Dosage guidelines are the best guide to follow to prevent overdose.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Nursing diagnoses related to drug therapy might include acute pain related to need for injections. Not all patients are anxious at the thought of an injection so more information would be needed. The patient is more likely to have reduced nutritional intake because of gastrointestinal (GI) adverse effects. Evaluating the effectiveness of the teaching plan is not a nursing diagnosis.
