Question 1 of 5
A contraindication for the use of Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in a patient is:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Severe hepatic impairment. Acetaminophen is primarily metabolized by the liver. In patients with severe hepatic impairment, the ability of the liver to metabolize acetaminophen is compromised, leading to a risk of drug accumulation and potential liver toxicity. Hypertension (choice
A), gallbladder disease (choice
B), and tachyarrhythmias (choice
D) are not contraindications for acetaminophen use. Acetaminophen is generally safe for patients with hypertension and tachyarrhythmias as it does not have significant effects on blood pressure or heart rhythm. Gallbladder disease does not directly impact the metabolism of acetaminophen by the liver.
