Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with hypertension, gastroesophageal reflux, and osteoarthritis. While performing a bedside assessment, the nurse observes the client is alert and oriented but is exhibiting signs of jaundice. The nurse should notify the healthcare provider about which scheduled medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Acetaminophen. Jaundice can be a sign of liver dysfunction, and acetaminophen can contribute to liver damage especially in individuals with pre-existing liver conditions. Omeprazole (
A) is used for GERD, captopril (
C) for hypertension, and prednisone (
D) for osteoarthritis. None of these medications directly cause liver damage like acetaminophen.
Therefore, notifying the healthcare provider about acetaminophen is crucial to prevent further harm to the client's liver.
