Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who takes acetaminophen daily to manage mild knee pain. The nurse should instruct the client to monitor for which of the following adverse reactions to this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Jaundice. Acetaminophen can cause liver damage, leading to jaundice as a potential adverse reaction. The liver metabolizes acetaminophen, and in high doses or with prolonged use, it can overwhelm the liver's capacity, resulting in liver toxicity and jaundice. Tinnitus (
A) is associated with aspirin overdose, not acetaminophen. Muscle pain (
B) is not a common adverse reaction to acetaminophen. Hyperglycemia (
C) is not typically associated with acetaminophen use.
Therefore, monitoring for jaundice is crucial in clients taking acetaminophen regularly.
