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: Answer B is correct. Acetaminophen should not exceed 4000 mg/day in adults, let alone a 3-year-old child. The maximum daily dose for children is based on weight, typically around 10-15 mg/kg every 4-6 hours. Giving 4000 mg/day could lead to acetaminophen overdose, causing liver damage.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. A: Giving every 2 hours is too frequent. C: Rectal administration is not recommended unless advised by a healthcare provider. D: Yellowing of the eyes could indicate liver toxicity, so notifying the provider is appropriate.
