Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) at regular intervals for mild pain. The nurse should tell the client to report which of the following early manifestations of acetaminophen toxicity?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Petechiae. Acetaminophen toxicity can lead to liver damage, resulting in decreased production of clotting factors and increased bleeding tendencies, leading to petechiae. The other choices are incorrect because B: Osteoporosis is not a common manifestation of acetaminophen toxicity; C: Pneumonia is not directly related to acetaminophen toxicity; and D: Diaphoresis is a non-specific symptom that is not typically associated with acetaminophen toxicity. It is important for the nurse to recognize petechiae as an early sign of potential acetaminophen toxicity and promptly intervene to prevent further complications.
