Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a new order for acetaminophen. What of the following options is a therapeutic use of this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Analgesic (relief of pain effect). Acetaminophen is commonly used as a pain reliever to reduce mild to moderate pain and also to reduce fever. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the brain, which helps to alleviate pain.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because acetaminophen is not indicated for preventing gestmenopausal osteoporosis, urinary retention, or decreasing blood sugar levels. It is important for the nurse to understand the therapeutic uses of medications to ensure safe and effective patient care.
