A 3-year-old child with upper respiratory infection and low-grade fever being treated with Acetaminophen
Question 1 of 5
A 3-year-old child with upper respiratory infection and low-grade fever is being treated with Acetaminophen. The nurse is reviewing important anticipatory guidance with the parents. Which statement by the parents indicates the need for further teaching about this medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because giving up to 4000 mg of Acetaminophen in a day by mouth is an excessive dose for a 3-year-old child. The maximum recommended daily dose for a child of this age is 2400 mg, so 4000 mg would be harmful.
Choice A is incorrect because Acetaminophen should not be given more frequently than every 4-6 hours.
Choice C is incorrect because rectal administration should only be done if directed by a healthcare provider.
Choice D is correct as yellowing of the eyes can be a sign of liver toxicity from Acetaminophen.
In summary, the other choices are incorrect because they provide either incorrect dosing information (A,
B), improper route of administration (
C), or fail to recognize a potential adverse effect (
D).
